📰 Intel Core Ultra X7 Panther Lake Performance On Linux 7.1

After recently noting the Intel Arc B580 Battlemage performance improving with Linux 7.1 and similarly finding performance gains for the Arc Pro B70 on Linux 7.1, several Phoronix readers have been wondering whether the newer Xe3 graphics with Panther Lake similarly benefit. Here are some CPU and iGPU benchmarks of the Core Ultra X7 358H "Panther Lake" SoC between Linux 7.0 and the recently stabilized Linux 7.1 kernel.

📰 AMD's new CPU core type just got unlocked on Linux before it was even announced

If you've ever poked around your computer or laptop's power plans, you'll know that your hardware can be fine-tuned to use as much or as little power as you'd like. Normally, you can choose between an emphasis on power and a focus on conserving energy. However, Intel has introduced a third option called the Low Power Efficient cores that saves battery on background tasks and idle states.
