Interesting news (for some) - but please do not word the title in a way that makes many think there is a vulnerability that needs immediate attention when in fact it's just about some performance boost.
As for the boost, thanks no, I won't play the funny linux lottery. I'm shocked sometimes when I see how linux bazaar development works out and how unreliable its result is. Unless one has a rather basic system upgrading ones distro or kernel risks to basically but a lottery.
only on the node? if hypervisor old kernel, any boost for KVM VM?
Dafuq question is that?
Ignore clowns.
Need benchmark to confirm the increased performance.
Could you compare geekbench 5?
Race to the 10ghz?
Why stop there? Why not aiming right away at 100 GHz?
That would interest me as well. Is it worth it to risk a rock-solid battle hardned 4.19 kernel for those juicy extra % if the host remains on ancient tech?
Once nodes are done it's either that, "moar cores" or graphite which seems to have died off lately.
(As a side note and as a personal opinion - no ARM is not the future. Intel once thought x86 is the next best thing after sliced bread but come AMD...people really think they will just sit on their asses and wait for ARM to take over? hah.)
My remark was pure sarcasm.
GHz to the moon babay! 🚀🚀🚀🚀
That is why you should ignore "immediately switch" instructions that are for a performance benefit. Let other people gamma test it first...
Different for updates purely for actively exploited or easily exploitable (so will be actively exploited in no time at all) security issues though.
Oh yeah! Facts. That's what homelabs are for!
Talking about homelabs: I have an HP dl360e gen8 at home but being a 1u server its so loud i can't even use it. not sure how others can bear it
Geekbench anyone on 5.11?
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/6556047
lol, just checked out , my score is unbelievable!
I guess something wrong with geekbench and 5.11
no way my pc can be that fast...
Waiting for reports of CPUs bursting in flames.
I'm surprised more people aren't running Clear Linux OS. Especially, since they optimize for Intel which helps all those old machines run better, but the optimization they do often help AMD big core stuff as well.
It is somewhat surprising to see people surprised you need current software to work with current hardware.
Do you have an old score (link) that we can compare with?
I do on some of my Centmin Mod LEMP stack servers with CentOS 7 and 5.x kernels. Also Linode has it's own custom 5.x kernels on offer too. Tested some Linode AMD EPYC with 5.x way back for VPS comparison at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/13-way-vps-server-benchmark-comparison-tests-upcloud-vs-digitalocean-vs-linode-vs-vultr-vs-hetzner.17742/
folks with insane high cpuinfo/lscpu care to share the output for command
cpupower monitor
?On an AMD EPYC 7452 32C/64T with CentOS 7 with 3.10 kernel output shows correct frequency between idle and base 2.35 and turbo 3.35Ghz
