- Tested systems included Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, Ubuntu 25.10, Arch Linux, and CachyOS.
- Hardware used: 96-core AMD EPYC 9655P, Supermicro H13SSL-N, 12x64GB DDR5-6000, 3.2TB NVMe SSD.
- Performance and power consumption metrics were evaluated to assess performance-per-Watt.
- Future plans include testing CachyOS Server Edition on AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon servers post-release.
