Ubuntu 24.04 + Linux 6.9 Intel & AMD Server Performance
For code compilation workloads the positioning between the different processors isn't really different from past comparisons, but the build times are slightly longer on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS due to the use of the GCC 13 compiler. Newer compiler releases tend to introduce new optimizations, debug improvements, language additions, and more, but it can mean for longer build times. In any event it's still enthralling to see a default Linux x86_64 kernel build happen in less than 30 seconds on the latest Intel and AMD wares.
The CPU package power consumption was also being monitored throughout all these fresh Linux server benchmarks.
It continues to come down to the particular codebase with the size, number of source files, build system, and similar factors for whether the AMD EPYC 9684X Genoa-X or Xeon Platinum 8592+ Emerald Rapids processors are the fastest.
For the OpenMP-threaded john The Ripper, the higher core count Genoa(X) and Bergamo processors from AMD continue to lead with this latest Linux software stack.
