So is Windows 10 gimping the Threadripper 2990WX’s performance? Unquestionably yes, but it’s gimping the 7980XE to a certain degree as well. If you were to just compare the 2990WX using Linux and Windows 10 the situation would appear a lot more extreme than it really is. For example, you’d conclude that the 32-core processor is going to wreck the 7980XE by an even more extreme margin when in fact both CPUs see an almost identical performance uplift.
Meanwhile, programs that were problematic on Windows such as 7-zip and VeraCrypt still provide us with odd results. For example the 2990WX’s compression performance was strengthened, but the decompression performance was weakened. Still overall Linux did provide a better balance.
