Timed Linux Kernel Compilation benchmark with settings of Build: defconfig. Linux 6.9 27 Mar was the fastest.
Timed Mesa Compilation benchmark with settings of Time To Compile. Linux 6.9 27 Mar was the fastest.
Timed Godot Game Engine Compilation benchmark with settings of Time To Compile. Linux 6.9 27 Mar was the fastest.

Even for code compilation with multiple jobs there was slightly better performance out of the Acer Swift Go 14 Meteor Lake laptop when running on Linux 6.9.

FurMark benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1200, Demo: FurMark OpenGL, MSAA: Off. Linux 6.8 was the fastest.
FurMark benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1200, Demo: Furmark Knot Vulkan, MSAA: Off. Linux 6.8 was the fastest.
3DMark Wild Life Extreme benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1200. Linux 6.8 was the fastest.
Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1200, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: Low, Renderer: OpenGL. Linux 6.9 27 Mar was the fastest.

There was not any observed graphics performance benefit when upgrading from Linux 6.8 to Linux 6.9 Git for Meteor Lake's Arc Graphics.
