Early Linux 6.12 Kernel Benchmarks Showing Some Nice Gains On AMD Zen 5


With the Linux 6.12 merge window wrapping up this weekend and the bulk of the new feature merges now in the tree, I've begun running some Linux 6.12 benchmarks

Many more benchmarks of Linux 6.12 will come after the merge window and on more diverse hardware platforms from desktop and mobile to servers, but for now here was an initial quick test run from this week in the pre-6.12-rc1 state. Linux 6.12 Git was built from source since the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA was broken as of testing. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
