Fedora Core Earlier this week Phoronix published a set of comparative benchmarks regarding Ubuntu, testing various recent releases to compare their performance figures on all sorts of different tasks. They've now done the same thing for Fedora, so we can compare Fedora and Ubuntu in terms of performance.

7.04/10 Ubuntu is faster 2x vs newer Ubuntu 8.x in ONLY huge math calculations tests AND ONLY on dual core systems. So only one core is used for math-intense operations on Ubuntu 8.x. Nothing serious.

It would be interesting to test on 4-core CPU. We may see Ubuntu 7.x 4 times better than 8.x on math calculations here.
