It examines whether amd64v3 binaries improve performance on budget hardware, while noting that Canonical's official plans for Ubuntu 26.10 amd64v3 were not yet known. ### Source excerpt Canonical recently began producing Ubuntu 26.10 amd64v3 daily ISOs to complement their experimental amd64v3 package archive that they have been trialing the past few release cycles. While we still don't know what any official plans are for amd64v3 with Ubuntu 26.10, the performance gains can be very worthwhile over the generic amd64 binaries even for low-end/budget hardware. ## Ubuntu 26.10 Set To Deliver Better Performance For Intel Core 3 Wildcat Lake DevFeed: [Ubuntu 26.10 Set To Deliver Better Performance For Intel Core 3 Wildcat Lake]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Michael Larabel Published: 2026-09-15T15:34:07Z Content type: comparison Language: en Sources: [Phoronix]() Topics: [Ubuntu](), [Intel Core](), [intel](), [Hardware](), [Linux](), [SOC]() Tags: [comparison](), [core](), [desktop-linux](), [graphics](), [hardware](), [intel-core](), [kernel](), [linux-benchmarking](), [linux-hardware-benchmarks](), [linux-hardware-reviews](), [linux-how-to](), [linux-performance](), [linux-server-benchmarks](), [nvme](), [open-source-graphics](), [performance](), [phoronix](), [phoronix-test-suite](), [release](), [soc](), [software](), [ubuntu](), [ubuntu-benchmarks](), [ubuntu-hardware](), [updates](), [upgrade](), [upgrades](), [wildcat-lake]() ### AI overview The article compares Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with Ubuntu 26.10 in development on a CHUWI UniBook equipped with an Intel Core 3 304 SoC, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB NVMe SSD.

Matching the Neo's current pricing, it starts at $699, or $599 with an educational discount. That discount is currently set to expire on November 2, and with the current component pricing insanity, I'd be surprised if we don't see a price increase on both laptops by next year. I ran the XPS 13 through my gauntlet of benchmarks, and published a review on my YouTube channel:
