A Quick EXT4 Run With Linux 4.14 Git
After the Linux 4.14 merge window is over, I'll begin with a lot of fresh Linux kernel benchmarks from this in-development release. But I/O and EXT4 changes already have me running some preliminary tests.
With EXT4 are some scalability improvements to note. The scalability improvements around allocating inodes may help in some workloads. I received a report of this patch on a consumer SSD helping out the Phoronix Test Suite's BlogBench. There's also been some talk of other performance changes to find in Linux 4.14.

Core i9 7900X vs. Threadripper 1950X On Ubuntu 17.10, Antergos, Clear Linux
While we have already compared the Threadripper 1950X to the current top-end Core i9 7900X processor, today we are taking things a step further with our Threadripper Linux benchmarks by doing a side-by-side showdown when each system is tested across three different Linux distributions.
Here is a multi-way comparison when running the Threadripper 1950X and Core i9 7900X under Ubuntu 17.10 with its latest daily snapshot as of testing, Antergos 17.9 Rolling, and Clear Linux 17650. This provides a diverse look at the performance across distributions for these high-end desktop processors.
