l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted August 17 Posted August 17 After seeing all the mixed reviews from current AM5 9000 series launch from tech t00bers and having played with the platform for a few weeks I wanted to see how Microsoft's current offering compares to Linux especially after seeing the Phoronix article and remembering playing with this during 3990X days and how big the difference was even back then. I used a Windows 11 24H2 base that was tweaked vs a ootb Linux (Arch+GNOME) distro since I have no clue how to tweak things in that realm. I used Geekbench 3, 5, 6 (x86_64 & AVX2) with the exact same bios profile. The hardware consists of: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X ASRock B50M HDV/M.2 G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB OCWC2024 (2x16GB) @ 8000c34 EVGA 1600 T2 PSU Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SK Hynix P31 / Samsung 870 EVO SSD's Galax GT630 Fishdick VGA The only change in profiles was No Execute had to be enabled to boot and install the Linux operating system, so this was enabled for all tests not in Windows. The overclock is a static 5.5Ghz all core with 2200 infinity fabric and 8000c34 memory for all screenshots running in 1:2 with sane voltages that can be run daily. Results as follows. . . Geekbench 3 Windows 11 https://browser.geekbench.com/v3/cpu/9087680 Geekbench 3 Linux https://browser.geekbench.com/v3/cpu/9087676 Geekbench 5 W11 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/22787660 Geekbench 5 Linux https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/22787531 Quote

ObscureParadox Posted August 19 Posted August 19 If you have any 7000 series chips lying around it might be interesting to see if there are similar gains to be had with that platform too, i.e. to rule out whether this is just a software efficiency thing or if it really is a platform issue on windows.

Crew Leeghoofd Posted August 19 Crew Posted August 19 No matter how great some benchmarks are on linux it's a monstrocity to keep track of all the Kernel versions etc... Quote
