AMD says it's "heard from the community" and has updated its official performance figures for the Ryzen 9000-series.

    I wouldn’t be even mildly shocked to eventually find out that there’s some sort of back room deal between MS and Intel

      Me neither. But. I think the answer is much simpler here: Microsoft doesn’t make their money with schedulers, but bundling that Office and tracking to everybody, and charging rent every month. They have way less people working on making the kernel as fast as possible, compared to Linux where:

      • there are many companies running crazy workloads 24/7, and providing patches
      • very talented individual hackers who have an open source kernel and can play around with things, getting that last oomph out from their system

      This is why, for a pro user, Linux is an amazing platform.

      Wait a minute. Was this sarcastic or do I get to lore dump? In case you weren’t aware, Intel has been doing this shit to AMD for decades. And so has Nvidia.

        I’m assuming they’re specifically meaning a deal regarding not fixing the scheduler issues

      To be completely honest, I’d be more surprised if there wasn’t.
