Linux 7.3 Delivering Some Performance Gains On Intel Panther Lake / Framework Laptop 13 Pro
Linux 7.1 brought some performance improvements for Intel Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake", Linux 7.2 enhanced the performance for the integrated Arc B390 Xe3 graphics, and now for the in-development Linux 7.3 kernel are various performance improvements at large. Today's article is looking at the performance of the in-development Linux 7.3 kernel compared to Linux 7.2 stable using the Core…
Linux version 7.3 of the Linux kernel is set to deliver performance improvements on Intel Panther Lake processors, particularly in the Framework Laptop 13 Pro. Previously, Linux 7.1 enhanced performance for Intel Core Ultra Series 3, while Linux 7.2 boosted performance for the integrated Arc B390 Xe3 graphics. The upcoming Linux 7.3 kernel, currently in development, boasts a range of performance enhancements.
To assess the impact of Linux 7.3, a comparison was conducted between Linux 7.2 stable and Linux 7.3 on the Intel Panther Lake processor within the Framework Laptop 13 Pro. Earlier testing on other hardware also highlighted performance gains with Linux 7.3, prompting this investigation into its benefits for popular Intel Panther Lake laptops.
Using an Ubuntu 26.04 LTS installation on the Framework Laptop 13 Pro with the flagship Intel Core Ultra X9 388H, the performance of Linux 7.2 and Linux 7.3 was benchmarked from the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA. No significant regressions were observed, but Linux 7.3 did show notable performance improvements in various areas.
