Previously opt-in, the feature was flipped to opt-out after extensive testing and public hardware availability. Benchmarks show gains in I/O-heavy workloads including databases, networking, key-value stores, and audio/signal processing. FRED support is also expected in upcoming AMD Zen 6 and Intel Xeon Diamond Rapids processors. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
