Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 Benchmarks Against RHEL 7.6, Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, Clear Linux
Continuing on from the initial Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 benchmarks last week, now having had more time with this fresh enterprise Linux distribution, here are additional benchmarks on two Intel Xeon servers when benchmarking RHEL 8.0, RHEL 7.6, Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, and Clear Linux. RHEL 8.0 is certainly delivering much better out-of-the-box performance than its aging predecessor but how can it compete with Ubuntu LTS and Clear Linux?
As a reminder as to what is shipped by each of these Linux distributions, the core components include:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 - RHEL 7.6 uses a (heavily patched) Linux 3.10 kernel, GCC 4.8.5 compiler, and XFS file-system by default.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 - RHEL 8.0 runs with the Linux 4.18 kernel, GCC 8.2.1 compiler, and XFS file-system by default. There is a slew of updated packages compared to RHEL7 and what's available there, including other changes like changing over to Retpolines for the Spectre V2 mitigations.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
