Unexpected Surprise: Windows 11 Outperforming Linux On An Intel Arrow Lake H Laptop (www.phoronix.com)

Typically when receiving any review hardware preloaded with Microsoft Windows I tend to run some Windows vs. Linux benchmarks just as a sanity test plus it still seems to generate a fair amount of interest even though the outcome is almost always the same: Linux having a hefty performance advantage over Windows especially in the more demanding creator-type workloads. As an unexpected twist and time consuming puzzle the past two months, when recently testing out the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 it's faster for numerous workloads now on Microsoft Windows 11 than Ubuntu Linux.

I bet Linux wasn't updated to recognize the new processor yet and thus wasn't scheduling to the various types of P, E, and LPE cores correctly.

Core 100 series was out at the end of 2023. The LPE cores shouldn't have been an issue.

Ubuntu is quite behind the update curve tho. Something like CatchyOS or Arch probably would have been much better in comparison.
