Phoronix: 6-Way Linux Distribution Comparison On AMD's Ryzen

Given AMD's Ryzen is a very new platform, some Phoronix readers have inquired whether a given distribution is a faster and better-supported than others. Here are tests of Ubuntu, Clear Linux, Debian, Antergos, Fedora, and openSUSE tested with an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X system.

That is no surprise of results , that openSUSE is best performing excep PostrgreSQL Platinum sponsors of openSUSE







The combined forces of you, AMD and openSUSE are helping lead the Linux operating system community in 64-bit innovation.

Consistent with AMD's theme of customer-centric innovation, openSUSE provides developers with a tool to compile, release, and publish their software for the broad user audience. AMD is a proud Platinum Sponsor of openSUSE.

SUSE has consistently been among the first Linux distributions to support advanced features in AMD microprocessors such as AMD Direct Connect Architecture with NUMA memory architecture and HyperTransport technology, AMD Virtualization™ technology (AMD-V™), and AMD PowerNow!™ technology.

Double cancel works for that page

I canceled it 5/6 times and it still reappear and even then page looks incomplete... but no worries

Now all we need is purely AMD focused Linux distribution, just like Clear Linux on the Intel side.

Fedora is super slow. Probably because it has the oldest kernel of all tested distros.

x2, I would guess it's not so much a matter of distro-specific optimizations, but rather the newness of the kernel that has the greatest influence on latest-hardware performance.
