For in-memory databases like Memcached and Pogocache, there were not any performance changes observed over Linux 6.19.
There appeared to be some small performance gains with the Nginx HTTPS web server on Linux 7.0.
The Open Image Denoise library was also one of the CPU workloads consistently showing some small performance gains when running on the Linux 7.0 development kernel.
In other CPU workloads tested the performance was rather flat -- but at least not seeing the regressions saw earlier this week on Panther Lake.
