Clear Linux continued delivering some nice leads with the Numenta Anomaly software.

PHPBench benchmark with settings of PHP Benchmark Suite. Clear Linux: EOY 2022 was the fastest.

The PHP packages shipped by Clear Linux continue to be wicked fast thanks to leveraging Profile Guided Optimizations, Function Multi-Versioning, and related optimizations.

Geometric Mean Of All Test Results benchmark with settings of Result Composite, AMD EPYC Genoa, Ubuntu vs. Clear Linux. Clear Linux: EOY 2024 was the fastest.

Intel's Clear Linux distribution continues running great on AMD EPYC servers at the end of 2024 and continuing to show the performance benefits from aggressive out-of-the-box performance optimizations for ensuring servers and workstations are reaching peak performance. Canonical over the past year has focused more on performance optimizations for Ubuntu Linux but the results still are not coming close to the Intel in-house distribution. It will be interesting to see where the Linux performance heads in 2025.
