Fedora 20 Through Fedora 23 Benchmarks
The x264 performance has improved on newer releases of Fedora.
Some of the other tests indicate Fedora 23 is back to being as performant as around Fedora 20 when it was on the CPUFreq scaling driver rather than P-State for this ten-core Xeon processor.
It's difficult to draw any conclusions given that just a single system was tested today, but if there's enough interest and support, happy to carry out the testing on more systems. You can see more results from this Intel Xeon + AMD Cayman GPU system via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file.
