Ubuntu 25.04 vs. Windows 11 CPU Performance For The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360

For H.265 video encoding with Kvazaar there was consistently better performance on Ubuntu 25.04 from this AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 Lenovo ThinkPad laptop than out-of-the-box on Windows 11 Pro. Kvazaar on Linux was yielding around 5~12% faster encoding times, roughly similar to what we've seen with other CPUs in past Windows vs. Linux comparisons.

With the WebP image encoding performance, Windows 11 and Ubuntu 25.04 were quick neck-and-neck until hitting the most demanding scenarios with higher compression and lossless encoding scenarios. In those more demanding modes the Ubuntu 25.04 performance came out ahead of Windows 11.

With the LuxCore 3D renderer the Windows 11 performance started off similar to Ubuntu 25.04 but as the intensity increased, the Ubuntu Linux performance advantage climbed.

The Intel Embree ray-tracing kernels continue to boast a nice advantage when run on Linux compared to Windows. We've seen this across both AMD and Intel processors. AMD Zen 4 and Zen 5 CPUs with AVX-512 do particularly well for Embree.
