Dozens of benchmarks were run and the results are rather boring, which is good in this case.

👁 OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Person Detection FP16, Device: CPU. Rocky Linux 10.0 was the fastest.

👁 OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Face Detection Retail FP16-INT8, Device: CPU. RHEL 10.0 was the fastest.

👁 OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Road Segmentation ADAS FP16-INT8, Device: CPU. Rocky Linux 10.0 was the fastest.

👁 RocksDB benchmark with settings of Test: Random Read. Rocky Linux 10.0 was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: json_loads. Rocky Linux 10.0 was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: asyncio_tcp_ssl. RHEL 10.0 was the fastest.

👁 OpenVINO GenAI benchmark with settings of Model: TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0, Device: CPU. Rocky Linux 10.0 was the fastest.

👁 LocalScore benchmark with settings of Model: Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf, Acceleration: CPU. AlmaLinux 10.0 was the fastest.

Across dozens of benchmarks carried out, the performance of AlmaLinux 10.0 and Rocky Linux 10.0 were right on-par with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 performance as would be expected.

👁 Geometric Mean Of All Test Results benchmark with settings of Result Composite, RHEL 10.0 vs. AlmaLinux 10 vs. Rocky Linux 10 Benchmarks. Rocky Linux 10.0 was the fastest.

No unexpected surprises and AlmaLinux 10.0 and Rocky Linux 10.0 were both running great on this AMD EPYC 9005 series server just like Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 itself. The best kind of boring benchmarks when there aren't any regressions and the performance right where it should be.
