A A Linux kernel 5.7-rc7 beta version was released. After reviewing the changes, Linus Torvalds mentioned that the most significant improvement for him this week was the update to his main workstation. For the first time in 15 years, his system features a processor that is not from Intel. The new configuration has a CPU with 32 cores (64 threads) and a total integrated cache of 146MB (2MB L1 + 16MB L2 + 128MB L3). In comparison, Intel workstation processors offer up to 18 CPU cores. It is noted that on the new system, builds in ‘allmodconfig’ mode are three times faster than on the previous system.
