Testing uses the Ubuntu Kernel Mainline PPA for reproducibility, with prior Linux 7.2 tests already showing gains on Intel Arc B390 Xe3, AMD Threadripper poll performance, and AMD EPYC Turin I/O. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What performance improvements does the Linux 7.2 kernel bring compared to earlier versions? Linux 7.2 has shown benefits for Intel Arc B390 Xe3 graphics in some configurations, faster poll performance on AMD Ryzen Threadripper, and I/O performance gains on AMD EPYC Turin processors. Separate testing compares it against Linux 7.0 and 7.1 on an Intel Xeon 678X Granite Rapids WS workstation with 48 cores and 96 threads using the Ubuntu Kernel Mainline PPA. _Track kernel performance changes across Linux releases like 7.2 with daily.dev before rolling out an upgrade._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Linux 7.1 Is Performing Well Overall In Early Benchmarks](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-1-is-performing-well-overall-in-early-benchmarks-qjb3vuitw) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux 6.6 LTS To Linux 7.1 Bechmarks: Performance Up 13% On AMD Threadripper Over Three Years](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-6-6-lts-to-linux-7-1-bechmarks-performance-up-13-on-amd-threadripper-over-three-years-jqcbjugin) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux Kernel 7.1 is a Feature Release That Could Be Useful For You](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-kernel-7-1-is-a-feature-release-that-could-be-useful-for-you-77klzz9de) · It's Foss · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Intel Xeon 678X Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu 26.04 Performance With The HP Z4 G6i](https://daily.dev/posts/intel-xeon-678x-windows-11-vs-ubuntu-26-04-performance-with-the-hp-z4-g6i-6k8byjeq0) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#ubuntu](https://daily.dev/tags/ubuntu) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-1-linux-7-2-performance-on-the-intel-xeon-600-series-review-f2h63vkh8) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Linux 7.1, Linux 7.2 Performance On The Intel Xeon 600 Series Review","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-1-linux-7-2-performance-on-the-intel-xeon-600-series-review-f2h63vkh8","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-1-linux-7-2-performance-on-the-intel-xeon-600-series-review-f2h63vkh8"},"datePublished":"2026-08-14T15:22:23.881Z","dateModified":"2026-08-14T15:22:52.004Z","description":"Phoronix benchmarks the upcoming Linux 7.2 Git kernel and Linux 7.1 stable against Linux 7.0 (the default on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS) on an Intel Xeon 678X Granite...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0a57d982d71de7025a9381da3083c1a9?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0a57d982d71de7025a9381da3083c1a9?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Phoronix","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Phoronix","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/6a26ba379dd64932830aa0c9803dd7ee","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-1-linux-7-2-performance-on-the-intel-xeon-600-series-review-f2h63vkh8","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"linux,ubuntu","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Phoronix","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Linux 7.1, Linux 7.2 Performance On The Intel Xeon 600 Series Review"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-1-linux-7-2-performance-on-the-intel-xeon-600-series-review-f2h63vkh8#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What performance improvements does the Linux 7.2 kernel bring compared to earlier versions?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Linux 7.2 has shown benefits for Intel Arc B390 Xe3 graphics in some configurations, faster poll performance on AMD Ryzen Threadripper, and I/O performance gains on AMD EPYC Turin processors.
