There is an article [1] by an Ubuntu engineer that describes the performance boost.
For Ubuntu 20.04, there will be extra work for performance boost on high-end computers.
For Ubuntu 20.10 there will be extra work for performance boost for low-end computers.

- jagger27 7y agoI'd like to see them quantify/qualify what they mean by low and high-end. I would have considered low-end to be a dual core i3-class CPU with no dedicated graphics but by the time 20.10 is out I'd be more inclined to say a quad core is low-end. Obviously a Threadripper is high-end today and will be even higher-end next year, with 64 cores perhaps.
- dannyw 7y agoLinux supports hardware for a much longer duration than windows and Mac OSX. I wouldn’t be surprised if low end is an Intel atom.
- farisjarrah 7y agoWhen Canonical says low-end hardware, I'm inclined to believe they mean actual cheap low-end hardware. Ubuntu has supported the raspberry pi for years now. A raspberry pi is much much lower end then even a bottom of the barrel i3 processor
- Tsiklon 7y agoI think you're being far too generous. Low end would be systems which just about meet the system requirements, regarding CPU, GPU and Memory.
