Ubuntu supera a Windows 11: ¡Mejora del 20% en el rendimiento con los impresionantes AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 de 96 núcleos!

The new AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 is breaking all records. Since its release, it has been consistently setting new benchmarks in various software, benchmarks, and operating systems. In this case, it demonstrates the eternal battle between Ubuntu with Linux and Windows, powered by the AMD flagship Threadripper PRO 7995WX with Zen 4 architecture and an impressive 96 cores. Ubuntu manages to achieve a 20% performance increase over Windows 11 with this 7000 series Threadripper.

The HEDT range has made a significant leap in core count within WS. The HP Z6 G5 A, representing the best of the best for these high-performance professional systems, is one of the first to widely reach the market. The choice of operating systems becomes crucial for performance optimization.

When comparing Ubuntu and Windows 11 with the Threadripper 7000 series, Microsoft needs to step up its game. AMD’s impact in this sector has forced Microsoft to react, as observed with Intel. It is well known that Ubuntu and Linux, in general, perform better with a high number of cores than Windows. Threadripper processors present an opportunity to prove this… or not.

The HP system features the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX, 8 R-DIMM DDR5-5200 with 16GB (128GB in total), a Samsung MZVL21T0HCLR-00BH1 NVMe SSD, and an RTX A4000 with 16GB of VRAM. The operating systems include Windows 11 Pro Build 22631 (H2’23) and Ubuntu 23.10 with their stable version updates.

Microsoft must change Windows’ approach to remain competitive

There are plenty of data points, so for a complete overview, you can refer to the detailed Phoronix article. However, based on selected data, differences in performance are highly reliant on the software used.

On average, Ubuntu is 19.5% faster than Windows 11 after taking various samples. Although Microsoft achieves some wins in specific scenarios or software, the overall metrics reflect the latter performance.

The reasons for Ubuntu’s victory over Windows 11 are relatively simple. Firstly, the Linux kernel scheduler is much better than Windows, especially with the Threadripper 7000 series. This advantage ties closely to the HPC sector, where Linux and its variants dominate and have adapted better to high core counts, demonstrated by server performance. Therefore, considering the trend towards increasing core counts by 2025, Microsoft should pay closer attention to this aspect with Windows 12, including a better thread allocation for P-Core and E-Core.

Can Microsoft match Linux’s performance in this crucial aspect that now requires more cores than before? This is the critical challenge the company faces, with the first results expected next year.
