Windows 11 improves the performance of big.LITTLE x86 CPU

The results show that, depending on the workload, performance has improved significantly; browser performance seems to have also been greatly improved:

Geekbench runs a variety of short-threaded tests and has seen a moderate performance improvement in the multi-threaded (MT) test, and scores even lower in the single-threaded (ST) test.

Cinebench, which tested the rendering performance of Cinema 4D, saw a moderate improvement when all cores were fully loaded, but the improvement was more obvious in ST load. Because the workload jumps between cores and is more affected by scheduler input.

Also tested graphics workloads in the form of 3DMark Night Raid, a lightweight DirectX 12 benchmark test. Hot Hardware said this is a test they think Windows 11 will crash. Because 3DMark relies heavily on drivers, and the drivers on the Galaxy Book S are not suitable for this operating system. Nevertheless, it ran and completed the test on its integrated Intel UHD graphics without any obvious problems.

It turns out that this is also the only test that saw performance degradation in Windows 11. However, Hot Hardware said that the test results are very close, and in the case of less than 1%, it is more inclined to call it a tie.

Finally, it ran PCMark 10 to test the CPU and GPU at the same time, aiming to simulate real PC usage scenarios. PCMark 10 is a very difficult test to measure performance in a variety of real environments, including video conferencing, word processing, video, and image editing, and spreadsheets. But because of testing a variety of different workload types, the results were mixed.
