AMD Ryzen 9 7950X & Intel Core i9 14900K: Ubuntu 22.04 vs. 23.10 vs. 24.04 Linux Performance
As part of my ongoing benchmarking of the newly-released Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Linux distribution, today's focus is looking at the high-end Intel Core i9 14900K and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X desktops while comparing the performance across Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, Ubuntu 23.10, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for dozens of workloads. Today's Ubuntu 24.04 benchmarking for this 'Noble Numbat' launch day is looking at both the Intel Core i9 14900K and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X desktops while seeing how the performance has evolved since the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release as well as Ubuntu 23.10 as the interim release from six months ago. In going from Ubuntu 23.10 to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the upgrade from Linux 6.5 to Linux 6.8, Mesa 23.2 to Mesa 24.0, GNOME 45 to GNOME 46 desktops, and an assortment of other package upgrades.
Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS as the existing Long Term Support base has the hardware enablement stack (HWE) from Ubuntu 23.10 that includes Linux 6.5 and Mesa 23.2 while having the much older GCC 11.4 compiler, among other packages not upgraded in that prior LTS series.
