How does Ubuntu’s new release compare to earlier versions? They always claim speed improvement, but Piotr’s not one to take software companies at their word, so he runs benchmarks. A lot of benchmarks.
In this video, Piotr benchmarks Ubuntu 24, Ubuntu 22, Ubuntu 20, and Debian 12 to see how the new release stacks up. He’s thorough as usual, reporting numbers for Geekbench 6, Scala, Apache Spark, PyBench, Intel OneDNN, Redis, ZSTD Decompression, AV1 Encode, and WebP Encoding. Check it out!
