The claim has a non linked URL where they compare the performance of a core i3 6th gen from a decade ago (presumably with 4gb ram) with a core ultra 5 just out (presumably with quadruple the RAM)
It probably is 3x faster. At siphoning your personal data.
“Just buy a new computer bro; hear me out, Windows 11 is what you need, j-ust j-ust justone more computer.”
“Stop it Morty! Microsoft just wants to sell licenses to hardware vendors, don’t you see it you, you, you stupid little btch. It’s a conglomerate, Morty!”
That’s incredibly stupid. Genuinely one of the worst comparisons by a large company in the last few years, and we just had the Nvidia fake frames scandal.
Is this claim local, or do they do this across markets?
Would be helpful to have a link.
That exact page I didn’t find in English, but I found this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/windows/windows11-performance-claims
Windows 11 PCs are up to 2.3x faster than Windows 10 PCs
Based on testing performed by Microsoft in December 2024 using Geekbench 6 Multi-core score comparing a selection of Windows 10 PCs with Intel Core 6th, 8th, and 10th generation processors and Windows 11 PCs with Intel Core 12th and 13th generation processors. Performance will vary significantly by device and with settings, usage and other factors.
I mean… okay? Pretty sure that has very little to do with the OS at that point. That’s kind of like saying the PS5 is faster than the PS4 – yeah, I’m upgrading hardware, of course it’s faster. Kinda surprised they only got 2.3x with that basis of comparison.
“this is our best product yet”
yeah i’d fucking hope so, otherwise why the fuck are you making a new version?
The taskbar is written in javascript on windows 11.
Bwahahahahahahaha
I’m typing this message on this computer (upgraded as far as it’ll go, running Debian Stable). No one needs any of this hardware for what most people use their computers for.
It’s still a silly comparison, but they tested 10 Windows 10 devices with 6th-11th gen processors and 10 Windows 11 devices with 12th-13th gen processors. You’re supposed to compare the average of all the results, not Device #9 with Device #9.

Right, so different boards, ssd chips, ram generations, even the displays make a difference since newer panels are more efficient on average. Absolutely inexcusable.
Btw among the W10 devices they even put an Intel “Y”, a cpu with 3.5-7W TDP 😂. I have one of those and it’s the worse computer I ever used, recently revived with CachyOS because thankfully it has the x86v3 instructions (=it’s not too old)
The difference in performance from a Intel 11th gen and Intel 12th gen, with the same amount of memory and the CPU in the same class, is not measurable in daily life. The average for w10 devices is skewed to the bottom, and it’s also a comparison that doesn’t make sense. Of course a computer from ten years ago is slower. I would be surprised if it wouldn’t be like that.
They wanted to do a comparison like Apple “M1 is 4x faster than our previous Intel laptop” but at least apple says which exact benchmark uses and it’s directly compared to the previous model on sale, not a random one from a decade ago (although Apple always chooses some useless benchmark like calculating integers or other stuff that has absolutely no impact in real life but has a higher result).
Here Microsoft says “Web browsing is up to 3.2x faster” but we all know that RAM heavily influences web browsing. How much memory the chosen sample has? They don’t say it and I suspect they’re comparing 4/8gb devices vs 16/32gb devices
Same for “Ms office is up to 2x times faster” but we all know that the difference is invisible in real use. Probably the w10 sample have sata HDDs (especially that i3-6100) while the w11 sample they all have nvme pcie gen 4 x4 drives so of course they load Microsoft word much faster.
Lol and the one with W11 it’s an Intel Ultra, aka the ones made with the modern lithographies at TSMC (like the AMD Ryzens, Apple Ms, etc)
It takes me three times faster to uninstall Windows 11 and install Linux.
Bro Windows 11 feels soo sluggish to use wdym Microsoft 💀🙏
This is the specs I used to run it on(I3 12100f,GTX 1650,16GB ram)Probably is, they are probably sabotaging windows 10
windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10
Yes, it’s true. It took me 3 times as fast to know that it’s shit.
Windows 11 implemented DLSS 4?
They’re technically not wrong. It’s 3x faster at stealing your data, so it’s 3x as faster at something.
3 times faster on 4 times faster hardware
Same hardware.
It seems to be principally due to lower latency (less time looking for stuff in RAM or HD) and improved power management.
I actually had to test this with my hardware, Win11 is atrocious. I don’t have exact numbers, but Win11 uses so much more RAM for itself that it’s really noticeable how it just gets slower so much faster when I open stuff.
On the one hand, using more RAM leaves less room for your stuff.
On the other hand, unused RAM doesn’t do anything for you.
So Windows 11 may actually be faster with sufficient RAM, but it’s gonna leave nothing for your applications.
Loul it is say one the article that not the same hardware at all.
