Benchmarking OpenMandriva Lx 4.2 With Its AMD Zen Optimized Build
The Rust rav1e AV1 encoder didn't show any real difference between the OpenMandriva builds or Ubuntu 20.10 while Clear Linux was faster there.
The Zen optimized OpenMandriva build didn't yield any real difference for Numpy.
There was some benefit to the OpenMandriva Znver1 version when it came to the GEGL imaging operations. The Zen optimized version of OpenMandriva performed better here and also better than Ubuntu 20.10 but behind Clear Linux.
Similarly, OpenMandriva's Zen build did see some performance benefit out of GIMP. (No GIMP 2.10.22 on Ubuntu 20.10, hence no result shown for lack of same packaged version.)
