Intel Windows 10 vs. Windows 11 Alder Lake Benchmarks (12900K & 12600K CPUs)



We used Windows 10 for our main Alder Lake reviews already, but now we’re doing a performance comparison between Windows 10 vs. Windows 11 on Intel Alder Lake CPUs.

This CPU benchmark focuses only on the Intel Core i9-12900K & Core i5-12600K in Windows 10 vs. Windows 11 for gaming, video editing, 3D modeling, and other CPU performance metrics. This takes into account Intel Thread Director and other technologies that should (theoretically) work better with Windows 11; however, as we stated in our 12900K review, many of the benefits are in background efficiency and might not necessarily show up in raw performance reviews or benchmarks.
