A Quick Look At The Windows Server vs. Linux Performance On The Threadripper 2990WX
Here is the 7-Zip compression performance that lots of people seem to be talking about this week for the Threadripper 2990WX... Windows 10 at around 40~41k MIPS as expected and shown previously along with what's been reported by other publications. When running Windows Server 2019, there is only a very small (~2.4%) rise in performance compared to Windows 10 and still well behind the tested Linux distributions.
Windows 10 and Windows Server were running about the speed of Clear Linux still in the Stockfish chess engine benchmark.
Windows Server ended up being less competitive with Linux in the single-threaded FLAC audio encoding benchmark as well as the BLAKE2 crypto run.
Windows Server also loses out on the Minion Solitare test.
