AMD Ryzen 5 9600X & Ryzen 7 9700X Offer Excellent Linux Performance

When compiling a default Linux x86_64 kernel, the Ryzen 7 9700X could compile the same kernel in 0.92x the time that the prior gen 7700X needed and the Ryzen 5 9600X could compile the kernel in 0.86x the time required by the 7600X.

While the faster build times alone were impressive, the gains were even more satisfying when seeing these Zen 5 processors consuming less power than the prior Zen 4 processors.

For those software developers or others doing a lot of code compilation on their desktops, the new Zen 5 processors can save a noticeable amount of time for large software projects and while doing so with less power than the prior gen parts or the Intel competition.
