In some of the web browser benchmarks like Firefox with WebAssembly there was a victory for CachyOS but for the most part the performance here was rather close.
After carrying out more than 60 benchmarks on these three Linux distributions on the Framework Desktop with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, CachyOS overall was around 7% faster than Fedora Workstation 43 or 10% faster than Ubuntu 25.10. But ultimately it comes down to what workloads you are mostly frequently engaged in whether the performance story of CachyOS is compelling enough to choose it over Fedora/Ubuntu simply on performance terms.
