TUXEDO OS Delivering Some Performance Gains Over Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

For many common workloads, the performance was nearly identical... Not really surprising considering both distributions are using Linux 5.15 and many of the same common packages.

In these cases it also didn't meany any significant thermal/power difference either.

But when moving to more demanding benchmarks, TUXEDO OS began pulling ahead of Kubuntu 22.04 LTS... Remember, there is the customized kernel and a notable difference being TUXEDO OS defaulting to amd-pstate ondemand rather than amd-pstate schedutil as used by default on Ubuntu. At times the scheduler utilization governor can make poor (or just more conservative) choices.

The faster performance for AI Benchmark on TUXEDO OS correlated to higher power consumption and operating temperature with the amd-pstate ondemand configuration leading to higher clock speeds under load.

With other common workloads it was a similar case of TUXEDO OS performing better than the stock (K)ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Though if you want lower power consumption or longer battery life, you can easily use the TUXEDO Control Center and switch to a power-saving profile.
