Q: Is OpenCL performance under Asahi Linux comparable to macOS? A: Comparing the "native" macOS Geekbench 6 OpenCL score with the Honeykrisp Vulkan driver score on Asahi, we currently reach about 40% of the hardware's potential. This is a promising result for an initial driver release, although there is significant room for improvement. The Asahi development team prioritizes correctness and completeness over speed, which will come into focus as the driver matures over time.
