In my experience, every computer is faster with Linux than with Windows. But if this measures just the processor performance on similar tasks I guess it’s news.
I think it comes down to the culture. A minuscule improvement to a file system is big news in the Linux community. There’s also lots of academic interest in the performance critical parts of the kernel that you just can’t emulate with a closed source model. Is anyone writing papers on how to obtain a 2% improvement in the task scheduler on Windows?
Linux dominates the server market, so even small improvements matter when you’re talking about a server farm with thousands of machines or the latest supercomputer. Many, many people care about the scalability of Linux. On Windows, we say: NTFS? It’s good enough. The user won’t notice on modern SSDs.
A lot of the software components under the hood in Linux are replaceable.
So you have a bunch of different CPU and disk IO schedulers to suit different workloads, the networking stack and memory management can be tweaked to hell and back, etc etc.
Meanwhile Windows Server 2022 has… ?
I wonder if Linux is 15% better, or Microsoft tracking uses that much processing.
It’s most like due to power governor and scheduler behaviors. If there’s background activity impacting the test it would more likely be Defender.
I’m not sorry that the CIA is using your closed-source software you mistakenly thought you owned anything because you paid way too much for anyone else to actually control your removed, you ignorant slave.
Edit: You’re a bunch of ignorant removedwads. You can’t read removed and know who’s on what side because your sensitive to sarcasm and blatant…nevermind. removed off.
Original Phoronix article which has all the individual benchmarks—weird that they didn’t link to it
Original Phoronix article link for Lemmyworld and SIJW users: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-meteorlake-windows-linux
It’s been posted by two others already but those probably aren’t visible from your instance
True, as we just found out, the performance of Meteor Lake is significantly influenced by the BIOS.
What’s that supposed to mean?
It’s a website that seems to digest other websites and spit them out badly. Here is the original article: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-meteorlake-windows-linux
There was an issue with the BIOS limiting the power available to the processor during benchmarks. It has supposedly been fixed since.
You sure this isn’t just anti-rowhammer et al mitigations?
