The article compares the performance of AMD Zen 4 laptops with Intel Core Ultra 7 "Meteor Lake" SoC in over 400 benchmarks on Linux 6.10. The testing involved AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS and 7840U processors in Framework 16 and Framework 13 laptops respectively, against Intel Core Ultra 7 155H in an Acer Swift Go 13 laptop. The tests were conducted using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Linux 6.10 Git kernel, and Mesa 24.2-devel for the latest driver enhancements. The benchmarks covered various workloads, monitoring CPU package power consumption, and performance-per-Watt. The upcoming releases of AMD Zen 5 Ryzen AI 3000 series and Intel Lunar Lake laptops were also mentioned. The comparison aimed to provide insights into the current generation Intel and AMD laptop processor performance under the latest Linux environment. The article hinted at a larger comparison in July with the Ryzen AI 300 series laptops. The tests focused on different aspects like browser benchmarks, code compilation, creator workloads, HPC workloads, databases, low-power scenarios, Python performance, AI frameworks, and more.
