The ASRock Rack EPYCD8-2T testing was happening with an AMD EPYC 7351P processor, 8 x 4GB DDR4-2666 Crucial RDIMMs, and Intel DC P3600 800GB NVMe SSD.

For those wondering how the different BSDs and Linux distributions compare for this particular setup, while testing these different operating systems for compatibility I also took the opportunity for running some fresh benchmarks.

BSD vs. Linux Workstation 29 EPYC AMD Benchmarks

DragonFlyBSD 5.4.1, FreeBSD 12.0, FreeBSD 12.0 when switching to the GCC8 compiler rather than Clang 6, Fedora Workstation 29, CentOS 7, Debian 9.8, Clear Linux 27910, and openSUSE Leap 15.0 were all benchmarked form this ASRock Rack EPYC motherboard in their stock / out-of-the-box configuration. All of the benchmarks were carried out using the Phoronix Test Suite.
