With Open Image Denoise using the new OIDn 2.5 release, the Arc Pro B70 was performing slightly better across the board on Linux 7.1 compared to the current Linux 7.0 stable.
Similarly, for using Intel's OSPRay Studio software with its SYCL back-end, using the Linux 7.1 kernel was showing consistently better performance on the Arc Pro B70 than using Linux 7.0 stable. Looks like some nice optimizations in the Intel Xe kernel graphics driver for at least the Battlemage generation.
