Remember, this is about running Linux on the M1. So if we’re going to talk about the 12th Gen Intel laptop chips expected later this year we also have to talk about Linux support on that chip.
I hope I’m wrong, but last I heard the Linux scheduler hasn’t caught up with 12th gen performance and efficacy cores.

Then there’s the whole other topic that some of us would prefer to be on arm over x86. I’m keeping an eye out for native Linux support for the latest snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 laptops that are coming out (ThinkPad X13s and friends). So far I’ve heard nothing. Which might suggest that M1 might stay ahead of the curve in terms of the community hacking to support these boards.
- schaefer 5y agoThe forthcoming Linux kernel 5.18 will include initial support for intel's Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI) [1]. This may bring linux performance on intel 12th gen (Alder Lake) processors to par with their performance on Windows 11. It will be fun to see how quickly HFI support finds it's way into Hypervisors like Xen.
