      Intel Core Ultra 9 285K "Arrow Lake" Performance On Linux Has Improved A Lot Since Launch

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 22 April

    Today's Linux benchmarking at Phoronix is looking at how the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K performance has evolved since its launch last October. Taking the launch-day benchmarks from October with the same hardware, we are revisiting the Intel Arrow Lake performance under Linux today using the newest system BIOS and the newly-released Ubuntu 25.04 for seeing how the performance has evolved roughly over the past half-year.

      Linux Being Patched For Buggy MWAIT Behavior On Intel Ice Lake Servers

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 22 April

    The Linux kernel has seen safeguards for select prior Intel CPU cores due to bugs around the MONITOR/MWAIT implementation with the processors. MWAIT/MONITOR bugs was found to be the cause of annoying issues at boot for Lunar Lake laptops and also previously plagued Goldmont Atom cores. It also turns out that Ice Lake servers can be subject to similar MWAIT/MONITOR behavior...

      Open-Source RADV Driver Begins Working To Improve AMD RDNA4 Ray-Tracing Performance

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 18 April

    While the Radeon RX 9070 series as the first of the AMD RDNA4 graphics cards do perform well on Linux, the one area the performance has been less enticing remains with Vulkan ray-tracing while using the Mesa RADV driver. For example, AMDVLK vs. RADV on the RX 9070 series shows the Mesa driver struggling with ray-tracing compared to the official AMD driver. But the good news is there's a concerted effort now to improve the AMD RDNA4 ray-tracing performance with RADV...

      Framework 13 With AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series "Strix Point" Makes For A Great Linux Laptop

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 17 April

    Today the review embargo lifts on the Framework 13 with AMD Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" SoCs: wow, what an upgrade! I've spent the past week testing out the Framework 13 with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and it's been terrific. Framework 13's modularity continues to pay off and allows easily upgrading to the new Strix Point bearing motherboard with AMD Zen 5 CPU cores and the Radeon 890M (RDNA 3.5) integrated graphics. If you are on a fresh Linux distribution the support is in great shape and paired with great performance for delivering a great 2025 Linux laptop option.
