Windows 10 Outperforming Linux On A ~$5000 Laptop, Ubuntu Beating Clear Linux  Phoronix

We are used to seeing tier-one Linux distributions outperforming Microsoft Windows on hardware ranging from $199 laptops to HEDT and server processors and everything in between. Thus it came as a large surprise to us when finding Windows 10 outperforming multiple Linux distributions on a new Intel laptop.
