The article reports on benchmarks of the Linux 6.19 kernel with the X86_NATIVE_CPU optimization enabled on an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX system. While some slight performance improvements were observed in I/O and micro-benchmark tests, overall real-world workload benefits were minimal, indicating limited impact of this optimization on practical performance.

Linux 6.16 introduces the X86_NATIVE_CPU build option, which enables compiler optimizations for the local CPU to enhance performance, particularly in I/O, graphics, and gaming workloads. Benchmarks on an HP ZBook Ultra G1a with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 show that enabling this option can improve performance, making it useful for enthusiasts and HPC administrators aiming for peak system efficiency. However, it is less practical for distribution kernels due to debugging complexities.
