Intel Continues To Show AMD The Importance Of Software Optimizations: 16% More Ryzen 9 9950X Performance
With OpenJDK Java workloads, Clear Linux and Fedora Workstation 40 tended to be the two fastest Linux distributions with their packaged OpenJDK JDR/JRE binaries.
When looking at the Zstandard compression/decompression performance using the Zstd binaries shipped by each OS, Clear Linux continued offering greater performance than the rest. The optimized CachyOS was maintaining a second place finish in these benchmarks.
Clear Linux with its aggressive x86_64 performance out-of-the-box was showing some big speed-ups for C-Ray.
CachyOS and Clear Linux were showing some nice advantages for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Numpy was already looking great on Zen 5 with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS but as shown there is the potential for even greater performance with other Linux distributions.
