In a variety of benchmarks kicking things off, Fedora Server 42 was running competitively on this 5th Gen AMD EPYC server with 256-cores / 512-threads. In some cases Ubuntu 25.04 was delivering an edge over Fedora 42.
👁 Renaissance benchmark with settings of Test: Finagle HTTP Requests. AlmaLinux 9.5 was the fastest.
In some cases there isn't much uplift from Fedora 41 to Fedora 42 due to the stable updates bringing in a newer kernel and other improvements already to that existing Fedora version.
Being the first major Linux distribution shipping GCC 15 by default in a near-final state ahead of GCC 15.1 has its benefits. In built-from-source workloads like the Kvazaar H.265 encoder was a noticeable advantage on Fedora Server 42 compared to the other Linux distributions tested on this AMD EPYC Zen 5 server.
