Ubuntu 18.04 Versus Six Other Linux Distributions On AMD EPYC
With the Numpy Python benchmark, Clear Linux remained in the top spot while this time openSUSE Tumbleweed was the slowest.
The x264 video encoding performance was also the fastest on Clear Linux thanks to all of the tuning by Intel engineers to make this Linux distribution the fastest out-of-the-box.
With the 7-Zip compression benchmark, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Clear Linux, and Debian Testing were effectively tied for first while Ubuntu and Fedora were tied for the slowest.
Y-Cruncher, a recent test profile addition to OpenBenchmarking.org serving as a Pi benchmark, saw the fastest performance on Clear Linux and the slowest under Debian Testing. At least here Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with its newer compiler stack was faster than on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Clear Linux had a slight advantage over the other tested Linux distributions with the FLAC single-threaded audio encoding test.
