Linux 6.13 Delivering Some Incremental Gains With AMD EPYC 9575F Performance
With some of the kernel micro-benchmarks via Stress-NG were some nice improvements out of Linux 6.12 and further now with Linux 6.13 Git.
Needless to say, stay tuned for further Linux 6.13 kernel benchmarking on Phoronix from different systems as these early results on an AMD EPYC 9575F Supermicro server are quite positive. It will be interesting to see how widespread some of these Linux 6.13 improvements are. For those using AMD 5th Gen EPYC "Turin" servers there can also be further performance and power efficiency improvements on Linux 6.13 if your system is supporting ACPI CPPC for AMD P-State driver compatibility that is the new default. Looking past Linux 6.13 there are further performance optimizations still coming like the in-development ERAPS feature support that is new to Zen 5 processors.
In case you missed it, see the Linux 6.13 feature list to learn more about the changes coming in this first major kernel version of 2025.
