This isn’t a competition. This is just a curiosity experiment, and is likely not accurate.
These two NUCS are almost the same - nuc1 had a bad 8GB memory module so I replaced it with a 16g, so it now has 24G vs 16G of nuc2. Identical models, NVMEs, etc otherwise. nuc1 is running Ubuntu 24.04 Server and nuc2 is running FreeBSD 14 (not the beta 14.1 yet, but that would be an interesting test too).
Both are using sysbench 1.0.20
It’s interesting to see the differences in the CPU. The memory disparity could be a faster stick of RAM in nuc1 (read above).
