Phoronix’s side‑by‑side testing of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and the 9950X3D across Windows 11 (25H2) and Ubuntu Linux snapshots delivers a clear, actionable snapshot: for heavy, CPU‑bound creator workloads on Zen‑5 silicon, a modern Linux kernel and toolchain still tend to extract more throughput...
Early benchmark data shows Ubuntu 25.10 holding a measurable advantage over Microsoft’s Windows 11 25H2 in CPU‑heavy workloads on a high‑end AMD Ryzen 9 9950X testbed, with Phoronix’s first‑look geomean numbers pointing to roughly a ~15% edge for the Linux build in this specific profile...
