Clear Linux popped back into first place when it came to looking at the Blender modeling performance.

Even with Clear's leading performance in Clear, the CPU power consumptionon average was right in line with Ubuntu 19.04 while openSUSE Tumbleweed was a few Watts higher.

Both the raw performance and performance-per-Watt of PHP on Clear Linux was the best from this Airtop 3 PC thanks to its PGO optimizations and other PHP tuning.

For the NeatBench video encode benchmark there wasn't much difference in performance while it was another example of Clear Linux and Ubuntu 19.04 offering lower out-of-the-box power consumption than openSUSE Tumbleweed.
