Linux 6.9 Drives AMD 4th Gen EPYC Performance Even Higher For Some Workloads
There weren't across-the-board performance gains to note for the AMD EPYC Genoa-X server on Linux 6.9 but for a number of workloads the results were either flat or just ever so slightly faster than Linux 6.8 stable.
But with the AMD EPYC 9004 series performance already so strong and on top of various kernel optimizations in recent releases, the AMD EPYC 4th Gen performance remains in premiere shape for Linux HPC/server use.
The Hackbench scheduler benchmark was one of the synthetics showing off slightly better performance on Linux 6.9 across various configurations.
