Long story short there wasn't any results to get super excited about on this RISC-V server when moving from Ubuntu 23.10 to Ubuntu 24.04. That's not entirely a surprise though given the same kernel version in use and just looking at the past six months of Ubuntu Linux updates. The Scaleway EM-RV1 experience on both Ubuntu Linux releases was stable.

Stay tuned for comparison benchmarks looking at the Scaleway EM-RV1 RISC-V performance against the Arm/x86_64 small cloud instance types soon. Those wanting to learn more about these EM-RV1 RISC-V cloud servers can do so via Scaleway Labs. Thanks to Scaleway for providing gratis access to this RISC-V cloud server for benchmarking on Phoronix.
