Microsoft’s next-generation Windows 11 will be publicly released on October 5, which is about a week earlier than the release date of Ubuntu 21.10 (codenamed Impish Indri), which is on October 14. So people are curious and want to know what the performance difference between these two upcoming operating systems might look like.
According to the benchmark results obtained in the comparison of several workstation applications, Ubuntu 21.10 seems to have a performance lead of about 50% or more in some tests, especially those involving more dependence on the CPU, indicating the operation The system may be better than Windows in utilizing the available CPU resources. On the other hand, we know that GPU-based applications usually tend to Microsoft’s operating system, however, the performance gap is not that big for Windows.
The Test System Includes:
- AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
- GeForce RTX 3090
- 16GB RAM
- Windows 10 21H1/Windows 11 Build 22000.168
- Ubuntu 21.10
From a numerical point of view, it can be noticed that Windows 11 does not actually provide any obvious improvement in performance. If there is, at least this build version is better than Windows 10 (Microsoft seems to want users to understand its response The improvement in speed rather than the utilization of hardware performance).
The last picture showing the WebP image encoding shows some anomalies. According to observations, the Windows 10 system is much faster than the Windows 11 system, which may indicate that the latter has some bugs.
In general, Ubuntu 21.10 seems to be 10% faster than Windows 10 and is slightly faster in subsequent Windows 11 builds. You can find the complete performance evaluation and more benchmark data on the Phoronix website.
