PHPBench benchmark with settings of PHP Benchmark Suite. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.

Nothing to note on the PHP side with both Fedora 44 and Fedora 45 using PHP 8.5.

Selenium benchmark with settings of Benchmark: Jetstream 3, Browser: Firefox. Fedora Workstation 44 was the fastest.
Selenium benchmark with settings of Benchmark: PSPDFKit WASM, Browser: Firefox. Fedora Workstation 44 was the fastest.
Selenium benchmark with settings of Benchmark: Speedometer 3.1, Browser: Firefox. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
Selenium benchmark with settings of Benchmark: WASM imageConvolute, Browser: Firefox. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.
Selenium benchmark with settings of Benchmark: WASM collisionDetection, Browser: Firefox. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.

Also nothing to note out of the stock Firefox web browser shipped on both Fedora Workstation releases.

CPU Power Consumption Monitoring Overview benchmark with settings of Accumulated CPU Power Consumption Monitoring.
Geometric Mean Of All Test Results benchmark with settings of Result Composite, Fedora Workstation 45 Beta Benchmarks. Fedora Workstation 45 Beta was the fastest.

Aside from some targeted improvements via updates to benefit the likes of OpenSSL and Python, there wasn't any widespread performance changes to note out of Fedora 45 Beta. But again it's not unexpected given the same kernel versions, compiler, etc, due to the Fedora 44 already receiving those versions as stable updates. In any event Fedora Workstation 45 Beta has been working out well in al lof my testing thus far without any issues.
