The Performance Impact From Different Arch Linux Kernel Flavors
The only difference to find with the OpenVINO AI performance on the Ryzen 9 7950X desktop was that using the Linux 5.15 LTS kernel often yielded measurably worse performance than the other Linux 6.0~6.1 kernel flavors. This outcome is similar to what we saw earlier with TensorFlow and DeepSparse.
When it came to the web browser performance with Firefox on Arch Linux, the Linux 5.15 LTS kernel again was yielding the worst performance out of the five official kernel flavors on this AMD Ryzen 9 7950X desktop. For some of the browser benchmarks the hardened kernel also led to lower performance.
