AMD Ryzen 9000 Series & Linux Kernel Drama Made For An Exciting August


August was a very busy month with the first AMD Ryzen 9000 series 'Zen 5' desktop processors going on sale, finally having AmpereOne 192-core Arm processors in the lab, Linux kernel development continuing to advance at a brisk pace, and a variety of other interesting software and hardware milestones

As exciting as August was in the hardware and software world, operations for web publishers remain a difficult affair especially when catering to a niche like I do with Linux enthusiasts. This round of testing was carried out on the newly-released Solidigm D7-PS1010 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs that offer very speedy performance for modern Linux desktops and servers. I have been carrying out a number of benchmarks for this much-anticipated AArch64 cloud native processor and have initial performance and power efficiency metrics to share today to see how it compares to prior Ampere Altra Max as well as the Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC server competition.
