Any details on that? We're spinning up a 48 core epyc soon on 12.1. The last "beefy" server we did was a 32 core intel on 11.x, and I'll be happy if these changes are in 12.1.

You want 13-current. A lot of the NUMA work that has been done is pretty invasive, and not suitable for backporting because it changes KBIs

Definitely. Some of the network changes (epoch(9), kind of like RCU) went into 12, IIRC, but you mostly want 13-CURRENT.
