Very strong Clear Linux performance on AMD hardware is no surprise as has been showcased on Phoronix over the years. As a final run of Clear Linux on AMD, I ran some benchmarks of the final Clear Linux 43760 release compared to Ubuntu 25.04 for the very latest Ubuntu (non-LTS) state plus AlmaLinux 10.0 for the current performance on EPYC Turin for that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 derived community OS. With the CPU frequency scaling governor adjustment being a common server change by administrators, I ran second runs of those operating systems with the "performance" governor to compare to Clear Linux's default.
