The release of Linux 5.16+ has given Linux performance a serious boost on systems running Intel Alder Lake CPUs.
Linux users running one of Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs will likely see a big performance boost following the release of Linux 5.16. When Intel’s 12th-Gen Core processors launched during the third quarter of last year, their performance was much better when running Windows 11 as opposed to Linux likely due to the new scheduler in the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system. Now though as a result of Linux kernel improvements since the release of Linux 5.16, the open source operating system is now capable of squeezing out better performance than Windows 11 on Alder Lake processors.
