Linux 4.6-rc1 Kernel Benchmarks On A Xeon E5 Haswell

Here are some of my earliest Linux 4.6 kernel benchmarks out there from a few different subsystems with the tests happening from a Xeon E5 Haswell system with AMD Radeon graphics.

As some tests I was able to get done of Linux 4.6-rc1 prior from being out of the office for a day were some Linux 4.4 vs. 4.5 vs. 4.6-rc1 benchmarks on this aforementioned Intel Xeon + AMD Radeon rig.

There were a few changes in some of the results:





You can see more of these early Linux 4.6 test results via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file. I'll be back with more benchmark results from other systems and analysis -- along with all of the LinuxBenchmarking.com daily kernel benchmark results -- shortly.
