Good news for all you folks out there on Ampere® Altra® & Altra Max® systems, Michael Larabel of Phoronix (Michael Larabel - Phoronix Media | LinkedIn) has uncovered a nice set of performance bumps available easily from the Ubuntu 25x release (GCC 14x, Kernel 6.14 etc.) Run on a System76 Thelio Astra Workstation using an ASRR board at 1DPC.
Presumably available on other distros. Fedora 4x is getting there with GCC 14/15 now but still back on kernel 6.11.
Overall performance averages out on Michael’s tests at 20% up with video transcode seeing almost double the performance! Someone has been beavering away
