Core Ultra 9 285K is faster in Linux than in Windows

Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K shows an average performance increase of 6% on Ubuntu 24.10 compared to Windows 11 with the 24H2 update. Upgrading to Linux kernel version 6.13 provides an additional 2% boost, totaling an 8% improvement. The processor struggles with tasks like rendering, ray tracing, and encoding on Windows, performing nearly double the speed on Ubuntu in encoding tests. The 14900K slightly outperformed the 285K in benchmarks, but no gaming tests were conducted due to limited Linux game ports. The P-State performance governor did not enhance speed as expected, and Intel's Battlemage B580 GPU also performs better on Linux but still lags in gaming compared to Windows.

Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu 24.10 Performance For Intel Core Ultra 7 Lunar Lake Review

The ASUS Zenbook S 14, equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, was tested on both Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.10 Linux. The device features 4 Performance cores and 4 Efficient cores, totaling 8 cores and threads, with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.8GHz and 16GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory. Benchmarks showed that while OpenJDK Java performance was consistent across both operating systems, Ubuntu 24.10 outperformed Windows 11 in multi-threaded tasks, such as Crafty and TSCP chess benchmarks, and in video encoding tasks with Kvazaar H.265 and SVT-AV1. Ubuntu also excelled in creative workloads and single-threaded benchmarks, demonstrating a 14% overall performance advantage over Windows 11. Despite Xe2 graphics performance being weaker on Linux, CPU performance remained strong.
