PHEW, solved it!
Apparently Geekbench has a separate AVX2 executable on Linux, which performs much closer to expectations. #Linux ftw, as it should be...
@killyourfm That's pretty bad. Is it the same on other Linux distros?
@Azarilh not sure yet, haven’t done the testing.
@killyourfm what is it with the different frequencies on the chip?
@nfilipes it looks like Geekbench is reporting base frequency on Windows and max frequency on Linux/Arch?
Both are boosting as expected up to 5ghz. Both are on identical performance profiles….
@killyourfm could Asus have optimized it for windows though the motherboard?
@killyourfm most likely it's the drivers on Linux
@nfilipes hmm, I don’t know but it’s a good hunch. This makes me wonder how Bazzite would perform since I believe that distro has optimizations for Asus laptops.
@killyourfm and we've seen how quick the bazzite team was to update the Ally X. So maybe there's a better chance there.
@killyourfm why is the frequency lower on the windows install?
@necrophcodr @killyourfm probably one's taking the base and the other the boost one, if I had to guess due to different behavior of platform-specific code.
