    Did we read the same article?

    So sure, if you run one device at 21 TDP and the other at 17, one will do better!

    From the article:

    Unless you’re really splitting hairs, 31.91% = 32%. Using the same TDP on both.

    It’s due to a bug not apples to apples comparison.

    There’s only two mentions of bugs, and both are used to describe Bazzite’s rapid development, nothing to do with performance.

    So, what are you talking about?

      Look at the actual video that Tom’s is pulling data from. There is clearly a bug with the tdp limiting in Linux which is using far more power and thus higher clock speeds.

      The only valid results are 13w vs 13w. The “17w” is actually 16w windows vs 20w+ Linux and “35w” is actually 25w vs 35w.

      Even if it were a fair comparison, 32% is still cherry picked. It’s the best result, versus the average result of +6–7% (sorry, that was the fps increase) +13–14%. 🤷‍♂️

      I’m still proud of Linux for being this competitive. ❤️🐧

        Oh sure. Headlines are always going for maximum clickbait.

        The bottom line, from the article and video is that the experience is much better in Linux, outside of the kernel anticheat games.
