Phoronix: Intel's Linux Performance Optimizations Continue Paying Off For AMD EPYC

As part of my end-of-year benchmarking and various historical comparisons, over the holidays I was curious to take a look at how the mature AMD EPYC 9004 "Genoa" performance has evolved over the past two years under Linux. Going off benchmarks I ran back at the end of 2022 on the same AMD Titanite EPYC reference server platform for two EPYC 9654 Genoa processors, I repeated the same tests using the newest releases of Intel Clear Linux and Ubuntu Linux for seeing how the performance has evolved.

I saw a problem with renting servers. and I began to look more closely, and realized that on 20,000 CUDA cores, all these virtual servers would look much better.

but if you were to install two or three such GPUs, it would be 40,000 or 60,000 CUDA cores. think about how many virtual servers these are. these are other possibilities.

But does it benefit ARM platforms as well?

The regressions in 2024 results are probably from all the mitigations
