LAME MP3 Encoding benchmark with settings of WAV To MP3. Ubuntu 23.10 + Linux 6.7 was the fastest.
WavPack Audio Encoding benchmark with settings of WAV To WavPack. Ubuntu 23.10 + Linux 6.7 was the fastest.

For single-threaded audio encoding tests with FLAC, WebPack, and MP3 formats, Ubuntu came out slightly ahead of Windows 11. This single-threaded testing was one of the areas I was most curious about to see if there was any significant difference that may indicate poor E vs. P core selection on either operating system. But the results at least for these tests were close.
