With the [2]Linux 7.1 merge window winding down ahead of the planned Linux 7.1-rc1 release on Sunday, I have begun testing out the Linux 7.1 Git state on various systems in my lab. So far Linux 7.1 appears to be looking good in the performance department with seeing a number of performance improvements in different areas but also a few possible regressions.

Today are the results of my first benchmarking of the Linux 7.1 Git state as of Wednesday compared to Linux 7.0 stable. Tests on more hardware remain ongoing and will ramp up after the Linux 7.1-rc1 release but at least for the tests on the few AMD EPYC servers in the lab, these results are largely aligned between those high core count server processors tested.
This round of benchmarking was done on a [4]Supermicro H13SSL-N server platform running with the 48-core AMD EPYC 9455P Zen 5 server processor, 12 x 64GB of DDR5-6000 memory, and Samsung MZWLO3T8HCLS PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD storage.
Ubuntu Server 26.04 LTS was running on this AMD EPYC Turin server and for the comparison simply testing Linux 7.0 stable against the Linux 7.0 Git snapshot. For easy reproducibility and transparency, both kernel builds were obtained from the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA.
