CentOS Stream 9 Improves Performance For Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC

[cynic]

I wonder where you got all that salt. Your Rocky or Alma install will not be any more stable, just a little bit behind on updates. If you win anything by that, is something for the realm of believes and feelings.

I'm not the user you're replying to, but I got salty as well wrt to RedHat due to their behaviour.
I had a dozen of newly installed server just when they announced the drop of the CentOS support and I think that is enough reason.

moreover, Stream and CentOS are not the same product and they don't provide the same level of stability, no matter how hard RH try to convice you of the contrary.
granted, Stream is "good enough" for a lot of usecases and probably better that the majority of the distro out there, but it is not something I'd base my critical server on.

Great stuff!

Let those running RHEL Beta Stream 9, be beta testers for the rest of us running Alma/Rocky

I am sure Alma/Rocky 9 will be an excellent release!

Should have included CentOS 7 for shops still running that like the place i work. Or CentOS 6 even but let's just pretend that I don't know anywhere still using CentOS 6. Nope not one!

Phoronix: CentOS Stream 9 Improves Performance For Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC

Earlier this month marked the general availability of CentOS Stream 9 as the bleeding-edge of Red hat Enterprise Linux 9 development. Since then I've been running benchmarks of CentOS Stream 9 and with modern hardware it's been offering some nice performance upgrades over CentOS Stream 8 / RHEL8 especially with modern hardware platforms like Intel Xeon Scalable "Ice Lake" and AMD EPYC 7003 "Milan" servers. Here are benchmarks of CentOS Stream8, CentOS Stream 9, Intel's Clear Linux, Fedora Server 35, Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, and Ubuntu 21.10 on both AMD and Intel servers.
