I would like to share a article with recent benchmarks of CentOS 8.0 vs CentOS 7.7, wich shows there is really big performance gains. Here is the article (make sure you read all 4 pages): https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=centos-8-benchmarks
Here is some quotes from the article (but make sure you see the benchmarks tables):
Here is some quotes from the article (but make sure you see the benchmarks tables):
"moving to CentOS 8.0 generally means big performance gains thanks to all the package updates and improvements over the past several years."
"For most workloads, upgrading from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8.0 means significant performance improvements particularly on newer hardware platforms."
"When firing up workloads focused on stressing the kernel, CentOS 8.0 generally is a great deal faster. CentOS 7 to CentOS 8.0 means jumping from an old Linux 3.10 kernel with tons of back-ported patches to now having a fresh Linux 4.18 kernel base."
"Long story short, in many workloads CentOS 8.0 is a big deal performance wise over CentOS 7 / RHEL7"
