Timed Linux Kernel Compilation benchmark with settings of Build: defconfig. Core Ultra 7 155H was the fastest.

For those doing a lot of code compilation from your laptop, the generational gains with Meteor Lake are great. Thanks to 16 cores / 22 threads with the mix of P and E cores, the Core Ultra 7 155H is a nice boost over Alder Lake and prior generation Intel CPUs back to the common days of 4 cores / 8 threads....

Not only did the Meteor Lake laptop have the advantage of more cores over Alder Lake but the recorded peak frequency during this workload was at around 2.9GHz on average for the Core Ultra 7 155H compared to around 1.9GHz for the Core i7 1280P.

While compiling the Linux kernel the Core Ultra 7 155H was pulling 34 Watts on average with a recorded peak of 64 Watts.

Timed FFmpeg Compilation benchmark with settings of Time To Compile. Core Ultra 7 155H was the fastest.

Timed Godot Game Engine Compilation benchmark with settings of Time To Compile. Core Ultra 7 155H was the fastest.

Timed LLVM Compilation benchmark with settings of Build System: Ninja. Core Ultra 7 155H was the fastest.

It's quite a difference in Intel laptop code build times for these laptops over the past 5+ years.
