AMD EPYC 7003 Series Performance Across Autumn 2021 Linux Distributions

Clear Linux and CentOS Stream was performing much better than the others out-of-the-box when it came to the ACES DGEMM benchmark.

Intel's Open Image Denoise test meanwhile was interesting in that AlmaLinux 8.4 being much slower than the rest was the distinguishing factor.

Python performance especially with a focus on numerical computing is one of the areas Intel has well optimized Clear Linux for and even coming out strong on AMD hardware.

Across the wide variety of real-world tests carried out, Clear Linux continued to most commonly lead on this AMD EPYC 7003 series 2P server even against these late 2021 Linux distributions.
