Phoronix: Power & Performance Tests With Fedora 24 Beta, Linux 4.6 Kernel

For those that have been requesting some fresh benchmarks looking at the system power consumption / efficiency of modern Linux distributions/kernels and how they're working out for laptops/ultrabooks, here are some fresh benchmarks on two Intel devices when comparing Fedora 23 to Fedora 24 Beta and also testing out the power performance with the Linux 4.6 kernel.

Thanks! With this advice in mind, I went to Koji and downloaded the kernel 4.6.0 package for Fedora 25, in my newly updated Fedora 24 box. This is relevant: I cannot use fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug, because I enabled Secure Boot.

There's an easier way you know...
Start with; "dnf -y install fedora-repos-rawhide" -- it will install rawhide repository, which is in a *disabled* state.
Follow up with "dnf -y --enablerepo=rawhide update kernel*"

Bad idea. Rawhide is carrying kernel-4.7.0rc0
