From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Somebody please temper my expectations because this seems like an absolute game changer.

The test data on article is about server setup which is the right use case for this change.

Moreover the L3 cache on CPU is what makes significant difference, IMO.

If that is true, not sure how much improvement consumer-grade desktop will see, given that most consumer-grade CPU will not have that much L3 cache on chip.

AMD has been putting a lot of L3 cache on their consumer CPUs. The 5800X3D has 96mb of L3 cache.

Yes, that's true. Only if Intel follows the same in future.

On a separate note, 5800X3D seems to be most efficient (throughput/watt) consumer grade CPU out there right now.

On a separate note, 5800X3D seems to be most efficient (throughput/watt) consumer grade CPU out there right now.

Pretty sure the 7800x3D surpasses it and the 7950x3D is no slouch either.
