Boot speed in my experience is mostly i/o bound so I doubt it makes a significant difference over a similar Intel chip. Is boot performance still an issue nowadays anyway? Since I've switched to SSDs all my computers boot up in a few seconds (Linux or Windows). And if you hibernate instead of shutting down it's even faster.
Compiler tests sound more interesting to me, I'm looking forward to those benchmarks.
- baq 10y agoyeah kernel compilation, .net compilation, js linting, babeling etc. - those would be quite interesting.
- majewsky 10y agoBoot speed is not even IO-bound for me, it's crappy-firmware-bound. `systemd-analyze plot` shows a total boot time of ~15 seconds, of which ~10 seconds is spent on the firmware, ~3 seconds on the kernel and hardware initialization, and 1-2 seconds on the entire userland including desktop session.
- daxfohl 10y agoI'm interested in boot just for curiosity's sake. With the new PCIe SSDs, I wonder if CPU may actually be the bottleneck.
