Processors are not comparable, but it clearly shows there is something wrong with Windows regardless of AMD saying Windows is fine.
Intel CPU shows to be almost same score on both OS's while Ryzen gets 5000 extra points on Linux. So yes Microsoft needs to fix something in the Windows Kernel...
Ryzen 1800x Geek Bench on linux score 27138 Geek Bench on Windows 10 score 22722
so linux is actually optimized to support a new product before windows is Uhhh. Is this surprising or something? Kinda goes with the new product thing. Lol. And windows has such a great track record of supporting new products
The point being AMD said in their press release that Windows was fine.... WTF! They are hurting themselves or just don't want to throw their business partner under the bus. I wonder how the benchmarks would have looked with Windows patches, proper memory speed support and other bios updates.
Tbh, I think the whole sorta denial thing is just desperate hopes for 'recommended' deals and whatever the fuck helps in terms of business. Windows is CLEARLY fucked, but I think it's a blind eye situation.
What have I said that indicated a preference? I just think it's interesting that AMD is leaning in this hard on what is considered in business and enterprise to be a necessary 'evil.'
It has wider implications in industry. if your application performs 10% better on a linux stack, hiring that smug unix neckbeard may suddenly be a lot more attractive. It adds flavor and intrigue to their server launch offering.
And yeah it may be an issue but we need all the testing with as many different people rigs, etc to see if this isn't just a freak score or is something bigger.
There is a Windows Creators release coming out in April, whatever that means, is it an official release? or some tech beta?
The way Windows Releases work is as follows: Codebase freezes 3 months prior to release so that OEM's can optimize their hardware and drivers. Only critical security patches are accepted, no more feature work as the ""BAR"" for code fixes is very high. Code gets handed over to WinSE team, and windows devs/pm's start planning windows next.
WinSE wont fix something as big as Kernel Scheduling.... so unless Microsoft was aware of this issue 3 months ago, then folks will have to wait another year.... Unless AMD puts pressure on Microsoft and have the Windows dev team backport a fix of this cale to the stable version of Windows.
At least this is how it worked Windows XP, Windows Vista, 8, 8.1. I don't know if they are still driving development in this way.
Yes and no, I could have moved to another team from the disappearing Windows 10 phone team we have just moved into like chess peaces. I had 2 months to look, 2 moths I spend at home watching TV :) I was leaving after a planned surgery and I got to leave with 6 months worth of paycheck :) were as medical leave plus leaving would have given me only 3 months at 70% salary. So I goy lucky... timing was perfect..
During my time there I worked as an SDET and also SDE, all the time on the Windows team.
Geekbench results are not comparable between platforms unfortunately. The linux one is compiled using GCC the Windows one is compiled using MSVC. The MSVC compiler does not perform auto-vectorization for SIMD instructions, while GCC does and that's just the beginning of it. As far as compilers go MSVC is by far the slowest of them all, and why people who use blender on windows often compile it on their own using GCC and cygwin.
Well ? Innovation was never windows strong point :) Coming from the software side of things. The only focus windows has is stealing innovation not creating it..........................dig
Keep reading the thread and this claim is debunked by showing intel performing the same on both platforms if the statement was true, it would show similar results as with Ryzen.
