Linux 7.1 Is Performing Well Overall In Early Benchmarks

                       AMD EPYC server with Linux 7.1

   With the Linux 7.1 merge window winding down ahead of the planned Linux
   7.1-rc1 release on Sunday, I have begun testing out the Linux 7.1 Git
   state on various systems in my lab. So far Linux 7.1 appears to be
   looking good in the performance department with seeing a number of
   performance improvements in different areas but also a few possible
   regressions.

                             AMD EPYC processor

   Today are the results of my first benchmarking of the Linux 7.1 Git
   state as of Wednesday compared to Linux 7.0 stable. Tests on more
   hardware remain ongoing and will ramp up after the Linux 7.1-rc1
   release but at least for the tests on the few AMD EPYC servers in the
   lab, these results are largely aligned between those high core count
   server processors tested.
   Linux 7.1 AMD EPYC Benchmarks

   This round of benchmarking was done on a Supermicro H13SSL-N server
   platform running with the 48-core AMD EPYC 9455P Zen 5 server
   processor, 12 x 64GB of DDR5-6000 memory, and Samsung MZWLO3T8HCLS PCIe
   Gen 5 NVMe SSD storage.

   Ubuntu Server 26.04 LTS was running on this AMD EPYC Turin server and
   for the comparison simply testing Linux 7.0 stable against the Linux
   7.0 Git snapshot. For easy reproducibility and transparency, both
   kernel builds were obtained from the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA.
