Fedora 45 Beta Performance: The Satisfyingly Boring Benchmarks
While there have been a number of Ubuntu 26.10 development benchmarks in recent weeks and more on the way, some Phoronix readers have asked about the lack of any early Fedora 45 tests given its recent beta. For good reason, it's largely boring but here are some to illustrate.
Fedor 45 Beta's performance benchmarks exhibit little to no significant difference compared to Fedora Workstation 44. This is largely due to Fedora's consistent approach of using updated Linux kernel versions and package upgrades, resulting in less eventful releases. The lack of major version bumps and stable updates between Fedora releases makes comparing them less exciting compared to Ubuntu.
Notably, Fedora 45 Beta continues to use the same Linux kernel (7.2), Mesa (26.2), GCC (16.2.1), and Btrfs file-system as Fedora 44. The only difference lies in the Python version, with Fedora 45 Beta running Python 3.15-rc2, while Fedora 44 is on Python 3.14.7.
