Benchmarks

Following the release of its 595.45.04 beta Linux driver, NVIDIA's update delivers incremental performance improvements in early tests on high-end RTX 50-series hardware. Benchmarks reveal uplifts in OpenGL, Vulkan graphics, and compute tasks, especially at high resolutions.

Benchmarks on Intel's new Panther Lake processors show Ubuntu Linux outperforming Windows 11 in many compute-intensive tasks. The tests, conducted by Phoronix, highlight Linux's advantages in areas like compilation and memory performance. While Windows holds edges in some AI and application-specific workloads, the results underscore ongoing OS rivalry on modern hardware.

In an unusual turn, benchmarks on a Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 laptop show Windows 11 delivering superior performance to Ubuntu Linux in several demanding workloads. The device features Intel's new Core Ultra 7 255H processor from the Arrow Lake H series. This result challenges the long-standing pattern where Linux typically leads in such tests.

Phoronix's end-of-2025 benchmarking on Linux 6.19 exposed severe hard hangs on AMD's newer RDNA3 and RDNA4 GPUs, halting tests across kernels 6.18 and 6.19—with no fixes from AMD or kernel logs for diagnosis. Building on prior coverage of performance boosts for legacy GCN GPUs now defaulting to AMDGPU, tests succeeded steadily on a wide range of older and mid-range hardware using Mesa 26.0-devel drivers.
