Phoronix: Linux Now Faster Than Windows 11 For Intel Core i9 12900K With Latest Kernel

Back in November when Intel's 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" processors first launched I ran benchmarks across operating systems and found Windows 11 delivering better performance than Linux with the Core i9 12900K flagship processor. Fortunately, thanks to kernel improvements since Linux 5.16, that is largely no longer the case. Here is a fresh look at the i9-12900K performance under Ubuntu 22.04 daily with Linux 5.16 and 5.17-rc3 kernels tested as well and Clear Linux for Intel's very own reference Linux platform.

So all ADL needed was a turbo boost fix?

Wow, Ubuntu 22.04 definitely sucks for using such an old kernel by default for the time when it will be released!
And thinking that is also full of snap crap it will probably be very hard to find a distro slower than that.

thats very good news...linux is king of the hill.

and i would not buy intel but the 12900K cpu is nice it is faster according to the overall average of phoronix.com benchmarks than the 5950X... but still i would buy the amd cpu because of ECC ram support and cheaper mainboards..

yes i know if you use DDR5 you could claim it is ECC ram but compared to unbuffered DDR4 ECC ram it is not the same-

Windows has MAC (Mandatory Access Control) since Vista and Linuxe doesn't. Maybe that's the reason it's slower?

SELinux or Apparmor is also slower than normal or than without it.

It seems you have no clue what you just said. SELinux is MAC.

everyones already knew Linux > win$slow$

// probably the dollars signs slowing it down


Linux: all your performances are belong to us.

I was coding MAC Linux Security Modules in 2003, and I wasn't even close to being the first one to do it. Try harder next time.

Good ol' Phoronix comments section: full of people who can't WAIT to prove how much smarter they are than you by whilst being a total prick.

Windows has too. But SELinux has much more complex .

So maybe should bechmarked Windows vs linux with selinux implemented - it would be fair
