According to a review by Phoronix, AMD's new Ryzen 7 7800X3D (one of the best CPUs for gaming) is 7% faster on average in Linux Ubuntu 23.04 compared to Windows 11 Pro. The Linux OS also outperformed its Windows counterpart 72.5% of the time, in a suite of 80 applications Phoronix tested. While 7% isn't massive, it's nice to know that Linux users won't suffer a performance penalty compared to Microsoft's more mainstream Windows operating system.
Testing included a plethora of applications including OpenJDK Java, Image encoding, chess benchmarks, LuxCore, Video Encoding, Intel oneAPI, ASTC encoding, blender, Indigo Renderer, Appleseed, V-Ray, Geekbench, and Google Chrome browser benchmarks.
