Phoronix analysis – Benchmarks used in April 4th article – Performance analysis, tools and experiments

There was an article posted on phoronix comparing several Linux servers including POWER9, Intel and AMD EPYX.

Analysis for this article was minimal; so in this post I dug in a bit more on characteristics of the benchmarks of what was actually being compared. I also ran the tests on my i7-4770 system to get a reference. I went through all the benchmarks to do the next level of diagnosis and characterization and provided links in the table below.

NOTE: The diagnosis pages are slowly being updated to reflect newer tools and methods.
