Both Intel Sapphire Rapids and AMD Genoa(X) / Bergamo have evolved nicely on Linux over the past year. There's more to gain on the AMD side from the newer Linux distribution releases due to Zen 4 compiler tuning (znver4) not added until GCC 13 this year for those wishing to maximize the performance of the compiled binaries.
