AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX / ASUS ROG Strix G15 AMD Advantage On Linux

With 158 tests being run across all these laptops, rather than showing each individual result, here are some additional data points by breaking down the results into different areas and looking at the geometric mean.

For AV1 video encoding with the official AOM-AV1 (libaom) and Intel SVT-AV1 encoders, the Ryzen 9 5900HX easily comes out much faster than the other Linux laptops available for testing.

From all the web browser benchmarks with Firefox and Chrome, the 5900HX web browsing performance was effectively tied with the Core i7 1185G7.

Code compilation on the Ryzen 9 5900HX is obviously great with sixteen threads. Compiling the Linux kernel, GDB, Godot, Wasmer, and Mesa were the compilation tests this go around.

Or for chess benchmarks with TSCP, Stockfish, and Asmfish, the eight Zen 3 cores pay off.
