AMD’s new kernel-level NPU support just beat Intel by nearly 2.4 to 1 — on Intel’s own Linux distro....And that is just sad.
I put Intel’s Clear Linux to the test on AMD’s HX9 370 and Intel’s Meteor Lake — and what was supposed to be a home field advantage turned into a benchmark embarrassment.
No fluff. No games. Just real-world AI workloads (llama_cpp, Mistral 7B), AVX stress tests, thermal scaling, and scheduler behavior.
And if you think 15–20% gains from a new CPU are impressive, wait until you see what Clear Linux does on AMD hardware.
🔍 Also covered:
• The state of Clear Linux in 2025
• Why ONNX matters (even if I didn’t cover it on cam)
• The truth about telemetry (spoiler: I found the bug years ago, Intel fixed it in the next build)
• And yeah… I left a few errors in for the “You GOT This Wrong” crowd 😎
🎯 This isn’t about fanboyism — it’s about performance.
👀 Watch to the end. You’ll see why Clear Linux still matters — and why AMD’s lead isn’t just real… it’s earned.
