## AI overview

Initial Linux 7.4 Git benchmarks on a System76 Thelio Major with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X found some performance improvements and small regressions versus Linux 7.3 stable. Both kernels were built with the same compiler and default configuration; CPU power consumption was also monitored. The excerpt provides no specific benchmark results or power measurements.

## Source excerpt

In the first round of benchmarking the in-development Linux 7.4 kernel there are some performance improvements -- and some small regressions -- worth noting over the current Linux 7.3 stable kernel. This first round of Linux 7.4 kernel benchmarking was on a System76 Thelio Major workstation with AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X.
