Recent testing has shown that Windows 11 is inferior to Ubuntu in terms of speed in a number of tasks.
A computer based on an Intel Alder Lake processor was tested on different operating systems. And it turned out that the system works the slowest in Windows 11. But the indicators in Linux turned out to be significantly higher.
Testing was carried out on a computer equipped with an Intel Core i9-12900K processor. Also in the configuration was an Asus ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi motherboard, 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, a 500GB WD Black SN850 SSD, and an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card.
For testing, we used Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Linux 5.18 kernel and Intel Clear Linux (build 36580). During testing, more than a hundred tests were carried out, including graphics rendering, music and video transcoding, and other tasks. Some results look like this:
Clear Linux was the leader in 55 cases, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in 19 cases, Windows 11 was in third place (16 results), and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with the Linux 5.18 kernel took 13 wins.
In general, Windows 11 was slower in most tests, although, of course, these are test benchmarks and not real everyday workloads. All results are available here.

Apple promises to fix iPhone 15 Pro overheating problem and partially blames third-party apps
Apple really intends to solve the overheating problem with the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. At the same time, Apple directly states that the titanium frame has nothing to do with overheating.
The company found several explanations for the overheating. First, the company says that increased heating may be observed in the first few days after the iPhone is first launched.
We’ve identified several conditions that may cause your iPhone to become hotter than expected. The device may become warm during the first few days after setup or restoration due to increased background activity. We’ve also discovered a bug in iOS 17 that is affecting some users and will be fixed in a software update
Secondly, the Cupertino giant blames third-party applications for overheating. In particular, Instagram, Uber and the game Asphalt 9: Legends.
Another problem is related to some recent updates of third-party applications that cause system overload. We are working with the developers of these applications on fixes that are in the process of being rolled out.
The situation will be corrected with the release of iOS 17.1, which is expected to be released at the end of October. If the tests do not show a decrease in performance, which may indicate that Apple has nevertheless reduced the frequencies of the A17 Pro SoC, then overheating is really caused by software problems.
Xiaomi is preparing MIUI 15 for various smartphones, but the company has something interesting in store for its flagships: Xiaomi 13 Ultra and Redmi K60 Pro will receive a special version of the interface. How exactly this version of MIUI 15 will differ from the usual one is not reported, but it will be based on Android 14.
The stable beta version of the new interface for Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra is designated as MIUI-V15.0.0.1.UMACNXM, for Redmi K60 Pro – MIUI-V15.0.0.1.UMKCNXM. The release of final firmware versions is expected in late October – early November. That is, these two models can receive the final MIUI 15 even before Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro.
