In a 300+ benchmark suite on Ubuntu Linux 25.10 with Linux 6.17, Phoronix finds DDR5-4800 delivers gaming performance close to DDR5-6000 on the Ryzen 9850X3D thanks to 2nd-gen 3D V-Cache, with price considerations and other workloads guiding the upgrade decision.
Phoronix says Linux benchmarks for Intel Panther Lake laptops and Arc B390 GPUs are still coming ahead of official availability. The author plans to publish preliminary Linux data by week’s end once hardware ships (he’s awaiting a Panther Lake laptop) after Windows reviews have already appeared, with ongoing retesting of other Linux systems.
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. Further articles will explore topics such as DDR5-4800 vs. DDR5-5600 performance and AVX-512 optimization.
