Real-world workloads such as PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and TigerBeetle databases ran faster, along with slight improvements in code compilation and CPU-based AI workloads. Linux 7.3 is set for release on Sunday with additional new features detailed separately. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does the Linux 7.3 kernel improve performance over 7.2 on AMD Threadripper PRO systems? Yes, Linux 7.3 delivers incremental gains over Linux 7.2 on the 96-core AMD Threadripper PRO 9995WX workstation. Improvements span PCIe Gen 4/5 NVMe I/O, network throughput, kernel micro-benchmarks like forking, io_uring, and mutexes, plus faster PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and TigerBeetle database workloads, subtly quicker code compilation, and small CPU-based AI workload gains. _Track kernel version gains like these on daily.dev before upgrading a workstation fleet._ ### When is Linux 7.3 scheduled to be released? Linux 7.3 is due for release on a Sunday, following a round of benchmark testing on hardware including AMD's Threadripper PRO 9995WX that showed consistent, if incremental, performance improvements over Linux 7.2 across I/O, networking, databases, and kernel micro-benchmarks. _daily.dev keeps developers from missing release-day kernel news like this._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Linux 7.1-rc1 Showing Off Some Wins On AMD Ryzen Threadripper](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-1-rc1-showing-off-some-wins-on-amd-ryzen-threadripper-1qglf9pkg) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux 7.2 On Threadripper Shows Some Nice I/O Improvements & Faster Poll, Some Regressions](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-2-on-threadripper-shows-some-nice-i-o-improvements-faster-poll-some-regressions-k89wyswhc) · 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 --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#performance](https://daily.dev/tags/performance), [#infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/infrastructure), [#postgresql](https://daily.dev/tags/postgresql) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-3-squeezes-even-more-performance-out-of-the-amd-threadripper-pro-9995wx-qmlwy8ey5) ```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 7.3 Squeezes Even More Performance Out Of The AMD Threadripper PRO 9995WX","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-3-squeezes-even-more-performance-out-of-the-amd-threadripper-pro-9995wx-qmlwy8ey5","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-3-squeezes-even-more-performance-out-of-the-amd-threadripper-pro-9995wx-qmlwy8ey5"},"datePublished":"2026-10-16T09:31:40.813Z","dateModified":"2026-10-17T11:04:43.153Z","description":"Benchmarks of the upcoming Linux 7.3 kernel on AMD's 96-core Threadripper PRO 9995WX workstation show incremental performance gains over Linux 7.2, including...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/40708650b6bca5b076f85310c16e0695?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/40708650b6bca5b076f85310c16e0695?_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-7-3-squeezes-even-more-performance-out-of-the-amd-threadripper-pro-9995wx-qmlwy8ey5","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"linux,performance,infrastructure,postgresql","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 7.3 Squeezes Even More Performance Out Of The AMD Threadripper PRO 9995WX"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-3-squeezes-even-more-performance-out-of-the-amd-threadripper-pro-9995wx-qmlwy8ey5#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Does the Linux 7.3 kernel improve performance over 7.2 on AMD Threadripper PRO systems?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, Linux 7.3 delivers incremental gains over Linux 7.2 on the 96-core AMD Threadripper PRO 9995WX workstation.
