Intel Rendering Toolkit & OpenVINO AI GPU Performance On Intel Panther Lake's Xe3 B390  Phoronix

Over the past month I have been running a lot of Linux benchmarks on Intel's new Panther Lake using the Core Ultra X7 358H and its Xe3-based Arc B390 Graphics. The Arc B390 on Linux has been quite interesting with its OpenGL and Vulkan graphics performance compared to prior generations of Intel graphics plus the Intel Compute Runtime / OpenCL performance too. In today's article are more benchmarks of the latter in looking at the Intel Rendering Toolkit and OpenVINO AI performance on the Xe3 B390 Panther Lake graphics compared to prior Lunar Lake and Meteor Lake.
