    Interestingly, this CPU performs noticeably better under Linux than under Windows 11

        No need to optimize when you can just push people to upgrade their hardware more frequently so you make fat stacks of cash from OEM’s.

          It’s gotten to the point though that it actually works better on older hardware as the system can’t actually fully utilise the new hardware because it’s not programmed to do that. It’s actually such a sad state of affairs. I don’t know how the Windows devs can cope anymore. If I worked on that product I would hate my life.

    So many f****** ads I gave my cell phone cancer.

    TMA:DR

    When taking the geometric mean of 73 benchmarks run for this comparison, upgrading from the Ryzen 9 7950X to 9950X on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS yielded a 14% generational improvement with this set of cross-platform applications/benchmarks while under Windows 11 was a 10% generational improvement. The raw performance of Ubuntu Linux on the AMD Ryzen processors also was greater overall to the extent of the Ryzen 9 7950X to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS nearly matching the Ryzen 9 9950X on Microsoft Windows 11.

    This is because M$s scheduler sucks, and needs to be updated for the new AMD CPUs. Happened in the past with other Ryzen releases.

    Why don’t they reverse the axis on the “less if better” graphs so you don’t have to look at the note on every graph…

    I read an article recently comparing w10 and w11 performance and the numbers were basically the same as this. No gamer should be running w11.

    The best thing here is Michael tested it with kernel 6.8.0, which is released in march - so there is no special optimization for new CPU in it. And, it still runs faster.
