AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Linux Benchmarks
With the exception of some OpenJDK Java benchmarks that performed well with the 5800X3D on Windows and some LuxCoreRender tests, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D was consistently performing much better on Ubuntu Linux. From Blender and other renderer benchmarks like Indigo, OSPray, and some LuxCoreRender tests, JPEG-XL image encoding, AVIF image encoding, AV1 video encoding, and more, Ubuntu Linux was consistently delivering much better performance on this AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D desktop. The side-by-side chart above just shows for workloads with a statistically significant advantage for either OS.
Out of 89 tests ran under both Windows and Linux, Windows 11 was faster in just 9% of the tests...
Or if taking the geometric mean of all 89 benchmarks, Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS was faster than Windows 11 on this AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D system by about 10% overall.
