Ubuntu 12.04 ARM Performance Becomes Very Compelling @ Phoronix

Posted on Friday, February 03 2012 @ 19:34 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Phoronix checked out the performance of Ubuntu 12.04 for ARM, you can check it out over here.
Last week I delivered benchmarks showing how Ubuntu 12.04 is ARM-ing up for better performance with ARM-based hardware and detailed some of the plans Canonical has for this architecture going forward. While those benchmarks last week illustrated some significant performance improvements with the Ubuntu 12.04 stack -- in large part due to the switch to hard floating-point support -- the gains are not over. In fact, there are already some striking improvements if using the Texas Instruments OMAP4460 SoC as found on the PandaBoard ES.
