Phoronix: AMD Ryzen 7 Performance On Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Six Linux Distributions

Our latest Windows vs. Linux benchmarking interest has been seeing how the AMD Ryzen 7 performance compares with the latest operating systems / Linux distributions. We have recently posted some Windows 10 vs. Windows WSL vs. Windows Linux benchmarks, relative Spectre/Meltdown mitigation impact tests on Windows vs. Linux, and other benchmarks but has mostly been done with Intel or server hardware. For those curious, today's tests were done with an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 platform.

Typo:

between Ubuntu 18.04 and CentoS 7.

Looks like Linux smokes Windows **shocked face** /S

Anybody knows what's going on with Ubuntu? Or is it just time to change it to Fedora?

if you want a unstable distro

I switched to openSUSE, I'm fine on openSUSE it's just great!

Would be interesting to look at openSUSE in such tests

Or switch to Debian stretch or testing. Ubuntu 18.04 is based on Debian testing. It also means you don't have to change your habits oo much ;-)

That pretty much suit the definition of being destroyed for windows. And it's a great improvement as in the early release Ryzen CPU were quite struggling against windows side and especially against intel equivalent. I would be interested to see a comparison with Intel to see if the gap has narrowed.

Thanks once again Michael for those big benchmarks.

OpenSUSE's Richard Brown was complaining I test openSUSE with the default XFS+Btrfs file-system configuration that it's somehow unfair for my out-of-the-box benchmarking.....
