OpenJDK Java (OpenJDK 11 across all OSes) performance between Windows and Linux tends to be mixed depending upon the particular workload / software under test, but Linux usually leads. Among the Linux distributions, Intel's Clear Linux tended to be the front-runner.

Similar to last month's tests on the AMD hardware, Windows 11 with its latest preview build in a number of the computational tests was slower than Windows 10 21H1. Whether Windows 11 in its current form is slower due to debug build options or other factors remains to be confirmed, but we'll see how the performance is once Windows 11 officially ships later in the year.

In some cases, the performance is virtually identical.
