Anyone using a Lunar Lake laptop?

Hi, I’m JUST curious about how fast DT is on a Lunar Lake CPU.

@R98_ARW Welcome to the forum.

Speed is a tricky thing. It is a factor of many things such as your hardware specs. Do you have a Lunar Lake laptop? Are you saying that it is slower than on an older system?

Do you have a discrete GPU? What is your RAM like? Is the dt build optimized for Lunar Lake? Etc.

Sometimes it has nothing to do with hardware, but the image you are processing and modules you are using.

More information is required.

Hi Alan, thank you! No, I have a Macbook Air M2 (8gb ram) and it performs well enough but I’m thinking to buy a Linux compatible laptop and Lunar Lake intrigues me. So i was curious about how snappy is while using DT.

Looking at Lunar Lake specs it seems it won’t be fast for heavy processing:


That means the CPU cores, the integrated GPU, the cache and RAM, the NPU and connectivity are all packed together on the same chip.

It also means you’re not getting a lot of cores or threads or high-power TDP settings, as Lunar Lake hardware is meant for ultraportable low-powered devices, for casual use and medium multitasking, and is not quite a hardware platform created with performance in mind.

@tankist02 is right. My response was more on the generic side, but practically, an Arrow Lake desktop or laptop would be more suitable.

The only thing that Lunar has on Arrow is that its design is more advanced, which will appear in the next generation of processors. It also has a much more capable NPU, but AI computes is not important to dt; not sure if Linux can take advantage of the NPU either.

TBH i would look at AMD Strix Halo based laptops.

or if you care about repairability

framework

If you’re on a smaller budget, a previous-generation AMD processor is also a good option — for example, a laptop with the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS.

Thanks guys. Might save up for an HX370 Framework.

Absolutely yes although because of thermal restrictions i would prefer the little desktop :slight_smile: With a big but: i am a worried about the OpenCL state of that hardware. Same about Strixpoint 370.

Is anyone using that sort of hardware on linux?

rusticl makes AMD GPUS quite usable i think
