>What else was the "Out-of-the-box" Windows installation trying to do while they were running the benchmark? It's trying to maximize the performance to power usage ratio out of the box. The default power profile is very conservative, which on a laptop means better battery life and reduced heat. Given that this comparison didn't do even rudimentary power consumption, heat, or CPU frequency scaling measures, it is overwhelmingly likely as the difference. > there are dozens of things clamoring for the attention of the scheduler and using CPU Linux machines have hundreds of processes too. It simply doesn't matter in 2024. That isn't a factor and isn't relevant, nor is the scheduler to blame. This is a silly misleading benchmark that is de facto clickbait. Pretty surprisedto see it doing well here.
