Phoronix: Intel Xeon Max / Sapphire Rapids Riding Higher On Ubuntu 23.10

While Ubuntu 23.10 isn't a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, for those curious about the evolution of Ubuntu Linux performance for Intel Xeon Max (Sapphire Rapids with HBM2e) on this new release just six months out from the all-important Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, here are some benchmarks showing the dual Intel Xeon Max 9480 performance on a Supermicro X13DEM platform while comparing Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, Ubuntu 23.04, and the brand new Ubuntu 23.10.

What the heck is happening with that memcached benchmark result? That's a 3.5x leap it took there on the 1:10 ratio test, and a 4.7x leap on the 1:100 ratio test. I'm assuming that's down to https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-...Linux-Speed-Up ?

What is the HBM memory config used in the tests? Cache mode or flat?
