I wouldn't be so certain. Here are some recent benchmarks on newer CPUs: https://www.phoronix.com/review/lunarlake-windows11-ubuntu2504/6 https://www.phoronix.com/review/lunarlake-windows11-ubuntu25... > Across dozens of benchmarks run on Windows 11 and Ubuntu Linux 25.04 from these two Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V within the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura was around 23% faster on Ubuntu 25.04 than the stock Windows 11 Pro installation. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 laptop with the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 was 8% faster on Ubuntu 25.04 than Linux. The Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 "Strix Point" though with 8-cores plus SMT, AVX-512, and other features was much faster overall on both operating systems than the Intel Lunar Lake SoC.
