Because Ubuntu is where I typically test against given its marketshare and enterprise use/support. And what I typically test against for my Windows vs. (Ubuntu) Linux comparisons. If going for CachyOS or Arch Linux because it's "faster" would conceal the fact that Ubuntu Linux is typically faster than Windows 11 but on this system at least is not.
Unfortunately, I don't have any added insight/hypothesis besides maybe something power managemen beyond what was detailed in the article... Lenovo and Intel believe it's inline with expectations and they used various internal tools and what not but hadn't provided me with any detailed data on everything they checked or any own internal numbers. SO I don't really have anything else to add there.
But it doesn't align with the last 12~20 laptops I've tested between Ubuntu Linux and Windows out-of-the-box where if loading up say V-RAY, IndigoBench, Blender, etc, and using the official binaries on each platform, Linux has typically always dominated in said workloads for both AMD and Intel laptops. So something isn't aligning quite right there with this ThinkPad versus all the other hardware I have tested with Windows vs. Linux.
I haven't gotten around to trying it but it's on my TODO list if having the time before needing to send the review unit back (likely next week or so I'd expect)
Right, unfortunately, was limited by the laptops I have on-hand for (re)testing... With routinely re-testing all laptops fresh, in this case on Ubuntu 25.04, not able to compare to prior dGPU-enabled laptops that since had to be returned to vendors, etc.
There is (unofficial) ROCm support for Strix Halo with ROCm 6.4.1. But like Llama.cpp and such were seg faulting but ROCR-based OpenCL was working and other workloads.

Titan V wasn't included since I never ended up receiving any Titan V review sample back in the day. :/
There is some perf-per-Watt data in there plus my other Battlemage Linux review out today. I'll also have more data in another article Friday~Monday.
I'll have more integrated graphics tests to come... Unfortunately I am a one-man show and only so much time to juggle everything. Initially focusing on CPU tests since they tend to be most trouble-free and reliable.
I haven't yet tested ECC with any Zen 5 desktop CPU. But yes in general with Zen 4 that ASRock Rack and Supermicro boards have worked out well. With time will try out ECC on Ryzen 9000 series.
It should be on the system table on the 2nd page. Its a bit small but SVG can zoom in. It was an ASUS ROG STRIX X670E with latest BIOS.
Edit: but yeah I need to find a way to scale that table better to make it easier to read.
NVIDIA can handle HDMI 2.1 with open-source driver as they punt it off to firmware - https://www.phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-Firmware-Blobs-HDMI-2.1
Yeah it was due to the Open Compute Project AFAIK... Though for a little while AMD was telling me they really meant to call it "Radeon Open eCosystem" before then dropping that too with many still using the original name.
As I wrote in the article, it was privately developed the past 2+ years while being contracted by AMD during that time... In a private GitHub repo. Now that he's able to make it public / open-source, he squashed all the changes into a clean new commit to make it public. The ZLUDA code from 3+ years ago was when he was experimenting with CUDA on Intel GPUs.
This is the first time I am seeing it on their website as well. When writing the article earlier I couldn't find it on their website either... Just the email I received directly from the PCI-SIG press rep.
But yes a rather 'weird' announcement with little detail and Copprlink does show (TM) though can't find it in the USPTO database and does indeed seem odd name given established Copperlink breanding.
How is the title 'clickbait'? Calling It "LibreOffice Changing To Year.Month Based Versioning Scheme" or similar just makes it longer and less immediately clear... Really I honestly fail to see how it could be considered 'clickbait' for phrasing it as simply as possible.
Yep sadly most laptop vendors don't care much about Linux... Or the Linux laptop vendors and others that do offer review samples, want them back in 30 days. So really doesn't work for long-term comparisons like this... But as mentioned by other commenters, the older Ice Lake and Tigerlake were explicitly used because they have AVX-512 support. For those just wanting to see newer AMD vs. newer Intel, that has already been covered in a separate article but this article here is specifically around "AVX-512".
Tigerlake is the most recent Intel laptop CPUs to officially support AVX-512... Thus can't do an Intel AVX-512 on/off comparison with any newer Intel laptop.
If you just want to see how the new AMD 7840U compares to a recent Intel Alder Lake, that's already been covered separately in: https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-ryzen7-7840u
FWIW, at the AMD event in Texas last month where the Ryzen 7000 series was announced, everyone was given the same embargo date... Mostly all the US and EU reviewers there.
Maybe the China/Asia review briefings or so are going with a different date based on different retail availability or so? Hadn't heard of some reviewers getting a different embargo date, typically see that usually only for different geo availability or if getting a sample from a motherboard OEM / other partner and not the CPU company review embargo.
Many AVX-512 Zen 4 benchmarks here - https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-zen4-avx512
Yes, some former releases at least via https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Dat... is what I use during some of my past/present Linux testing
Joining Phoronix Premium allows ad-free, single page viewing.
But, no, single page version wouldn't help all that much due to each graph being served dynamically and thus would loading single page version would be making even more requests at once for serving up the SVG/PNG graphs, etc.
Should be fixed now... Initial rush of traffic caused some issues but is running steady now.
If there's a public mirror of the data-set available, not too much concern given that the downloads only happen when the user requests running said test.
Any good repeatable use-cases around your GeoJSON that would work well for automated benchmark case? I"m always interested in adding more benchmarks... If you have any good test cases that would work well, happy to add them to the Phoronix Test Suite - report it @ https://github.com/phoronix-test-suite/test-profiles/issues and will look at the workloads. Thanks.
Linux data here - https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=3990x-th...
There is a lot more that Clear Linux does than just set the CPU frequency governor, as shown here among other articles: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu18...
There is also various compiler tuning, a number of patches to different components, using PGO + LTO compiler optimizations, and much more.
That's why I also use the LLVM compilation test (C++) and other workloads besides just the Linux kernel... But it seems the Linux kernel results are always what generates the most interest.
For those curious about his contributor statistics, he was actually the fifth most active one committing to LLVM: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=LLVM-Raf...
https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm ROCm has open-source support for OpenCL 1.2 but doesn't yet work on all mainline components (i.e. Linux kernel and LLVM changes needed), but that should change in 2018, and also only works with relatively recent AMD GPUs.
I have many Epyc/TR benchmarks coming up... Some PostgreSQL and SQLite though is about it for SQL. List of possible tests @ http://openbenchmarking.org/tests/pts
Could add other SQL tests if being pointed to a decent set of scripts for setting up given test and execution in an automated manner so it could be incorporated into the Phoronix Test Suite test profiles.
