Linus did a video that had some interesting behaviours from Windows 11.

He compares performance differences between Windows 10 and Windows 11 and they are more or less the same... Until you run into a game that is very CPU bound like Counter Strike. Then with a 5950x + 3080, you lose performance:

The reason seems to be the new scheduler in windows 11 likes to spread the load more through a lot more cores vs Windows 10 only spreads it through a few cores. And because of that, there is a performance penalty when the CPUs need to communicate through the infinity fabric as Windows 11 isn't CCD aware. So in it's current form, you will see a performance difference in CPU bound games when you compare monolitch like Intel's Rocket Lake and prior + single CCD like 5800x or lower vs dual CCD or more like 5900x and 5950x. I'll be interested to see how Alder Lake S performs as that has it's own Interconnect but I think Ryzen is gonna need some scheduler updates for the higher tier CPUs.
