| > I set up and supported 200 X1 Carbons over the past few years. ...but the Gen 10 X1 with out-of-the-box Fedora, the topic of this post, was released just a few months ago. > It's noticeably slower than any Apple Silicon machine Given how fast it feels, this claim sounded unlikely, so I just ran Geekbench 5, yielding 1769 (single) and 8385 (multi-core): https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/19092431 The 2022 MacBook Air gets 1932 and 8919, respectively, so the X1 matches 92% of its single-core performance and 94% of its multi-core performance. You and I may have different definitions of "noticeably slower" and "terribly inadequate." > Fan runs, loudly, if you even breathe on the machine Ironically, the first time I've heard the fans is running geekbench just now, and even then they were quiet. Given all this, I think it's unlikely we're talking about the same machine. |
