Hot Hardware ☛ Microsoft's Upcoming Windows 11 25H2 Battles Linux In Benchmark Showdown
CPU benchmarks are in for the latest release of Windows 11, version 25H2, and results stacked up against Ubuntu aren't looking particularly flattering for Microsoft's latest and greatest. In Phoronix's run of 41 creator-focused CPU benchmarks, Windows 11 25H2 not only falls behind two recent versions of Ubuntu Linux, but even occasionally trades spots with the older, mostly-identical Windows 11 24H2. These benchmarks were all done using identical hardware, in this case a test bench boasting a Ryzen 9 9950X at stock clocks, 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, a Radeon RX 9070, and a Crucial 1TB NVMe Gen5 SSD.
