Ubuntu 25.04 vs. Windows 11 CPU Performance For The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360
👁 Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 with Windows 11
Earlier this month was a look at the AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics between Windows 11 and Ubuntu 25.04 using a Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 "Strix Point" SoC within a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6. That was an interesting benchmark battle and providing a fresh look at the open-source AMD Linux graphics driver stack relative to Radeon Software on Windows. For those curious about the current Zen 5(C) performance, today's article are all of the CPU benchmarks for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 performance under the newly-released Ubuntu 25.04 and Windows 11 as pre-loaded by Lenovo.
The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 features eight cores (16 threads) made up of three Zen 5 cores and five Zen 5C cores. The Zen 5 cores clock up to 5.0GHz while the Zen 5C cores can clock to 3.3GHz. This testing was done from a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 (21M1001VUS) with 32GB of LPDDR5-7500 memory and a 1TB Kioxia NVMe SSD. The same hardware was used for testing both under Windows 11 Pro and Ubuntu 25.04.
Windows 11 Pro was tested in the out-of-the-box Lenovo preload configuration with all software updates as of testing. Ubuntu 25.04 was using the beta state with all available package updates as of testing in early April. Both operating systems were left at their defaults while carrying out a variety of different GPU benchmarks to complement the prior integrated RDNA 3.5 benchmarks from the prior article.
