The article explores the current performance of CachyOS, an Arch Linux-based OS, on AMD EPYC servers through benchmarking against upstream Arch Linux and Ubuntu, highlighting its promising out-of-the-box performance and potential for future server applications, with a focus on performance and power efficiency.
The review highlights the impressive Linux performance and compatibility of AMD's new Threadripper 9000 series (9970X and 9980X) Zen 5 processors, emphasizing their generational uplift, support for DDR5-6400 ECC memory, and seamless upgrade path for existing systems, making them excellent choices for high-end workstations in 2025.
Phoronix has conducted independent testing of the flagship Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ 64-core processors, comparing their performance to AMD EPYC Genoa(X) and Bergamo. The benchmarks showed that the Xeon Platinum 8592+ exceeded expectations, with meaningful performance improvements in various areas. The new processors offer up to four more cores, higher turbo frequencies, significantly higher DDR5 memory bandwidth, and a larger cache compared to the previous generation. The testing was done using Ubuntu 23.10 with the Linux 6.6 kernel, providing a fresh look at Intel and AMD Linux server performance.
