With currently reviewing the HP Z6 G5 A workstation powered by the new 96-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX Zen 4 processor, one of the areas I was curious about was how well HP’s tuned Microsoft Windows 11 compares to that of Linux.
Totally agree, it’s two different tests and use cases. Most people will run it how it comes out of the box and that’s probably more representative of the real world.
I just think it’s not entirely fair to say “windows is 20% slower” when we have no idea which trash HP loaded it up with. If I managed an IT Dept and learned my $$$$ hardware lost 1/5 of it’s performance I’d certainly be pushing HP for solutions. Or maybe they’d prefer to take 20% off the price?
