Fedora Server 42 Is Performing Well On 5th Gen AMD EPYC "Turin"
Following the recent benchmarking of Ubuntu Server 25.04 in its near final state compared to prior Ubuntu Linux releases, I turned my attention to Fedora Server 42.
With Fedora Server 42 shipping the Linux 6.14 kernel and having both GCC 15.0.1 and LLVM Clang 20 compiler toolchains available, it's a very fresh and up-to-date experience. GCC 15.1 stable isn't even out yet but in usual spring tradition Fedora 42 is already using a near-final GCC 15 snapshot by default, as great news for HPC compute users and others wanting the newest compiler optimizations and hardware target support. AlmaLinux 9.5 was tossed in for reference of where Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 performance roughly is today.
