AMD Strix Point & Intel Lunar Lake: Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu 25.04 Linux Performance

H.265/HEVC video encoding with the cross-platform Kvazaar encoder continues to be much faster on Linux too.

In some of the other workloads tested, Strix Point enjoyed a nice leg-up under Linux while the Intel Lunar Lake performance was rather flat.

Across dozens of benchmarks run on Windows 11 and Ubuntu Linux 25.04 from these two Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V within the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura was around 23% faster on Ubuntu 25.04 than the stock Windows 11 Pro installation. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 laptop with the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 was 8% faster on Ubuntu 25.04 than Linux. The Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 "Strix Point" though with 8-cores plus SMT, AVX-512, and other features was much faster overall on both operating systems than the Intel Lunar Lake SoC.
