At Architecture Day 2021, Intel shared key design details of the Alder Lake processor architecture, saying that Windows 11 is optimized to take full advantage of Alder Lake’s hybrid performance architecture and new Thread Director technology that helps schedule tasks. new Microsoft operating system.

Microsoft has made sure that Windows 11 is designed to make the most of the hardware. Was it? Not then. The claims only began to be verified over time, after many updates, fixes, and additions. But the problem is that Windows 11 only paired with Windows 10, not before that.

Windows 11 is slow

Going back to Intel’s hybrid processor discussion, PCWorld tested the Raptor Lake-S Core i9-13900K on Windows 11 22H2 and compared it to Windows 10 22H2. While there were certainly some cases where Windows 11 was better, there were also many scenarios where it wasn’t, and in most cases Windows 10 came out on top.

• Here are the criteria photo and video editing. Analysis was done in PugetBench program.

And these are similar tests at UL Procyon:

• The following tests were performed with the Chrome 107 browser, the MS Office suite from Procyon, and Bapco’s Crossmark Enterprise testing.

• Another equally important indicator for Windows is work in games. Here you can see Metro Exodus, Tomb Raider, Horizon Zero Dawn and more. The results show nearly identical performance on both operating systems, except for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Overall, the latest versions of Windows 11 and Windows 10 still seem to be “trading with each other,” much like they were at the very beginning when Windows 11 first came out. As a rule, the difference in performance in one direction or the other is measured by a single-digit number.
