Windows 10 May 2020 vs. Ubuntu 20.04 Is A Surprisingly Heated Race On The Intel Core i9 10900K

Usually we are seeing OpenJDK Java offer better performance on Linux but for this i9-10900K the results were much tighter than in recent comparisons.

For the dav1d AV1 video decoder it depended upon the AV1 content whether the results were close or favoring Ubuntu by big margins.

In other creator workloads from AVIF image encoding to Basis texture compression tasks, Ubuntu 20.04 did offer measurable advantages over Windows 10.
