Afaik Linux is always a bit more performant. But the two are not comparable anyway, simply due to Linux not being bloated.

The fact that a simple OS update can make the CPU up to 13% more effective makes me wonder how much performance difference there is between Windows and Linux.
Since I have dual boot, I’ll check later if I can find any benchmark tool that works on both so I can compare.

I don’t watch videos, but I’m going to blindly guess that this is fixing borked Windows scheduling that pegged SMT’s fake cores before real cores.
If that’s the case, Linux was basically just that much better (though you could “fix” it by forcibly disabling SMT in bios). But most of the time the performance is pretty similar (especially in the real world where you’re aiming to be GPU limited).
