Hence the reason I said I doubt it would make much of a difference but the 5.0 kernel generally outperforms 3.10. 3.10 has has already been deprecated and isn't updated anymore. The EPYC 7742's are still going to trounce the Xeon's but the Xeon's would probably have better real world performance on the latest 5.0 kernel and a recent distro versus kernel 3.10 and a dated distro like RHEL/CentOS 7. As I mentioned before, typically the same version of OS is used in these types of benchmarks.
- bubblethink 7y agoRHEL backports the hell out of their kernels. They are monstrosities. The would not make any money if their OS performed significantly worse than the competition. Remember how much RHEL costs. And phoronix routinely does these performance tests across kernel versions. There is not that much difference. I think in one of his recent tests he even went back to ubuntu 12.04.
