As mentioned, unfortunately no exposed power sensors under Linux for the X1E to be able to compare the SoC performance-per-Watt to the AMD Ryzen and Intel Core competition. But on a performance basis with the latest Ubuntu Linux state on the X1E wasn't competitive at all with the latest Intel and AMD platforms.
Ubuntu 25.10 ARM64 desktop ISO was providing a nicer out-of-the-box experience than with some of the X1E Concept ISOs earlier in the year but the performance regressions were very unfortunate.
