Linux Outperforms Windows 11 on AMD’s New Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs for Gaming

Recent testing by PC Games Hardware reveals that AMD’s latest Ryzen 9000 series CPUs offer better gaming performance on Linux compared to Windows 11. While the gains aren’t dramatic, Linux delivers a noticeable advantage in frame rates and smoother gameplay, particularly in demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077. This difference in performance is attributed to Linux’s efficient resource management, which allows it to leverage the advanced architecture of Ryzen 9000 series processors more effectively. While Windows 11 still provides a solid gaming experience, it appears to be lagging behind Linux in optimizing performance for these new CPUs.
