AMD's new Ryzen 9000 series processors are reportedly offering better gaming performance on Linux compared to Windows.
AMD ’s newly launched Ryzen 9000 series desktop CPUs are finally available for purchase, and recent performance comparisons suggest that these CPUs perform better on Linux than Windows 11 , particularly in gaming scenarios.
Recommended Videos While these gains for Linux weren’t overwhelming, they were noticeable, generally falling within the range of 5% to 10%. The one exception was World of Warcraft, where the difference in performance was only 2%. In a test of Cyberpunk 2077, a game notorious for its high CPU demands, Linux consistently delivered better average frame rates and lower frame time variances, resulting in a more stable gaming experience.
On the other hand, Windows 11, despite being the go-to operating system for most gamers, appears to be lagging behind in optimizing performance for the Ryzen 9000 series. This isn’t to say that Windows 11 performs poorly across the board — it still provides a solid gaming experience. However, in direct comparisons, it falls short of what Linux is able to achieve with the same hardware.
