Thank you so much for including Manjaro in these benchmarks Michael! It didn't do as well as I would have expected, but it's good to know the truth of where the distros stand.
The same benchmarks with a powerful AMD processor would be also be very interesting.Last edited by muncrief; 15 December 2019, 11:19 PM.

Why is there a Manjaro Release number? Its rolling or didnt you have installed updates for it after installation?
I also would like to have Arch in there. I mean common, it's a one time setup you have to do. And no, Manjaro is not Arch, also not in performance of some things.

I was talking about GCC compilation flags, you countered with ... CPU HW vulnerabilities mitigations which are enabled on all Linux distros by default and all have roughly the same performance impact - actually recent kernels are less affected because some of these mitigations have been optimized unlike RHEL where they use the initial "slow" versions of them.

Too bad these results won't result in anything on Fedora's side for "the sake of security of our users". Yet, most Fedora users are on the desktop where these security measures are an absolute overkill.
The days of easy performance wins are over. The real cost of performance over security choices over the past several decades from hardware architectural decisions to software built using unsafe practices, languages that wrongly assume programmer always know what they're doing, and decades old security paradigms is coming to a painful end.
Distribution developers are starting to realize that. The safe defaults are literally the safe defaults.
Obviously you can have performance, but you have to make some very careful choices that almost no one in the general public, even on Phoronix, is qualified to make.

Benchmarking 11 Linux Distributions Across Dozens Of Workloads On The Intel Core i9 10980XE
Phoronix: Benchmarking 11 Linux Distributions Across Dozens Of Workloads On The Intel Core i9 10980XE
If opting for a high-end desktop/workstation like the Intel Core i9 10980XE and even for smaller systems, your choice of Linux distribution can be a big factor in the performance potential out of the system. In benchmarking eleven modern Linux distributions across dozens of benchmarks, the performance difference can be more than 30% for the out-of-the-box Linux performance. Benchmarked this round on the i9-10980XE were multiple versions of CentOS, Clear Linux, Debian, Fedora Workstation, Manjaro, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Solus, and Ubuntu.
