Arch Linux outperforms Clear Linux

Ok I am installing the OS on my spare HDD. The problem is Arch runs on SSD, so I will be doing CPU only tests when the installation is done and I have fully upgraded the system like my Arch installation.

I might also try benchmarking the Xanmod kernel (which is obviously faster) - still I think Clear Linux is performance oriented, and that should be faster with the default ones.

Clear Linux to me, is just like Arch, with a bloated GNOME rather than XFCE on my Arch. I don’t want to invest a lot of time in Clear for now, but I don’t think even if I install it on my SSD it can’t beat the Arch, or at least will do similar result. But I am skeptical with the CPU benchmarks.
