Benchmark kernels - 3.12 vs 3.14 vs 3.16


Hi,

Did you check the new kernels ?
Do you have a test results - functionality, speed (different aspects), stability, new features, etc.
Which one should I choose to use?
Now I have 3.12.6 and I'm planning to change it to the latest 3.12.27
Should I go for a new one like 3.16 ?

Is it good to use old .config file with new kernel and
Code:
make oldconfig
or
Code:
make olddefconfig
Kind regards,

Simple answer: just use the latest kernel version, and be happy.
