The .NET team has continued improving performance in .NET 7, both generally and for Arm64. You can check out the general improvements in the excellent and detailed
Performance Improvements in .NET 7 blog by Stephen Toub. Following along the lines of
ARM64 Performance in .NET 5, in this post I will describe the performance improvements we made for Arm64 in .NET 7 and the positive impact it had on various benchmarks. Stephen did touch upon some of the work in his blog post, but here, I will go through some more details and wherever possible include the improvements we have seen after optimizing a specific area.
When we started .NET 7, we wanted to focus on benchmarks that would impact wide range of customers. Along with the Microsoft hardware team, we did lot of research and thinking on what benchmarks should we pick that can improve the performance of both client and cloud scenarios. In this blog, I will start by describing the performance characteristics that thought are important to have, the methodology we used, the criteria we evaluated to select the benchmarks used during .NET 7 work. After that, I will go through the incredible work that has gone into improving .NET’s performance on Arm64 devices.
