On many of the systems, the Botan crypto program was running much faster on Ubuntu 18.04.
The x264 performance wound up being faster for the AMD EPYC/Ryzen boxes while on the Intel hardware was the same speed.
While in the AVX-heavy Himeno pressure solver test, the Intel CPUs saw a small but measurable performance improvement that didn't carry over to the AMD Zen-based systems.
The ebizzy test that tries to resemble server workload performance saw very significant performance improvements with the move to Ubuntu 18.04.
