Ubuntu 12.04 Liquorix Linux Benchmarks

Phoronix.com benchmarks for a future article looking at the performance impact of the stock Ubuntu 12.04 LTS kernel versus the Liquorix kernel using its official Debian package, also from the Linux 3.2 kernel like the Precise Pangolin kernel in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64. Only the kernel was changed out between test runs. Testing on three unique systems with Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i7, and AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer processors.

Compare your own system(s) to this result file with the Phoronix Test Suite by running the command: phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1203262-SU-LIQUORIX196
