Preview: Benchmarking CentOS 7.0 & Scientific Linux 7.0

As all of the tested distributions are on GCC 4.8 for their host compiler, the performance for many of our CPU-bound benchmarks that are built from source aren't too interesting when comparing these operating systems.

You can find more of these initial CentOS 7.0 / Scientific Linux 7.0 benchmarks on OpenBenchmarking.org. As already explained, these results are just some initial performance figures for CentOS / SL 7.0 and coming soon will be comparisons against the 6.5 release (and potentially 5.11) along with many other interesting Enterprise Linux benchmarks.

If you have any other Linux test requests feel free to let us know! You can also carry out your own performance benchmarks in a very easy to use and reliable manner using the open-source Phoronix Test Suite.
