Linux has once again proven its performance superiority over Windows in the latest comparison between Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.10 on an Intel Core Ultra 7 Lunar Lake processor.
In this performance test, it was found that Ubuntu 24.10 outperformed Windows 11 by an average of 14% on a Lunar Lake powered ASUS Zenbook S 14 laptop. Despite some Xe2 graphics issues that are currently being investigated, the CPU side of Ubuntu showcased impressive performance gains compared to Windows.
This benchmark result is consistent with previous findings where Linux has excelled in rendering tasks with Blender and other CPU/system benchmarks. It is reassuring to know that there are no fundamental Linux compatibility issues with Lunar Lake, especially considering the ongoing graphics challenges.
Looking ahead, more Intel Lunar Lake Linux benchmarks are expected to be conducted on Phoronix, providing further insights into the performance capabilities of this hardware.
