As Windows 10 will end support in a few months, Microsoft has also begun to push users to upgrade to Windows 11, which naturally inevitably makes comparisons between Windows 11 and Windows 10.In a recent official article released by Microsoft, Microsoft claimed that "Windows 11 computers are 2.3 times faster than Windows 10 computers."So where did this data come from? Windows Latest found the source and found that the testing method used by Microsoft to reach this conclusion was staggering.
In December 2024, Microsoft conducted a comparative test between Windows 11 and Windows 10, using the Geekbench 6 multi-core test as the standard in terms of speed.
In the test, Windows 10 used devices equipped with i7-8750H, i5-6200U and other processors, while Windows 11 used devices equipped with i7-1355U and Core Ultra 5 125H.
Through the comparative test of the above computers, Microsoft came to the conclusion that "Windows 11 computers are 2.3 times faster than Windows 10 computers."
This is completely different hardware, and there is still such a big gap. What is the significance of the figures obtained? The most important thing is that Microsoft just put it in the official article to persuade users to upgrade to Windows 11. I have to say that Microsoft still overestimates it.
In addition to speed tests, Microsoft also came to the following conclusions through similar hardware comparison tests:
Windows 11 PCs have an average of 2.7 hours more battery life than Windows 10 PCs
Web browsing speed is 3.2 times faster than Windows 10 PC (Speedometer test)
Office productivity is 2 times faster than a Windows 10 PC (Procyon Office Benchmark test).
