In workloads like Node.js, the XanMod kernel can help a bit but still didn't tie with Clear Linux.
In cases like SVT-AV1, using Clear's compiler flags on Ubuntu is what's helping a bit here but as shown by the benchmarks it's still not up to matching Clear Linux itself.
The modifications to Ubuntu did help with the Mozilla DeepSpeech speech-to-text engine.
The Hackbench kernel scheduler benchmark still generally favored Clear Linux.
Ubuntu surprisingly won with the Numpy Python benchmark.
