The fourth configuration we’ve included is one with Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) enabled. The drives offer read throughput of up to 3.4 GB/s with writes as fast as 3 GB/s and we’ll be including some storage test results towards the end of the article. These tiny SSDs offer 8TB of high speed storage and we’ve got one for the Windows 10 testing and another for Windows 11, which allowed us to go back and forth to double and in some instances triple check results. TeamGroup was gracious enough to send over a pair of their 8TB MP34Q M.2 NVMe SSDs. We should note that by fresh install we mean this is a recent install of Windows made on a brand new SSD, which is then loaded with all the applications we require for testing and diagnosing performance, so at that point we’ve installed as many (or more) applications and games than most of you will have installed at a given time. Now along with a fresh install of Windows 10 and Windows 11, we’ve also included a configuration based on a Windows 10 fresh install that was then upgraded to Windows 11. The idea is to see if there are any performance changes using either low-end or high-end hardware. To find out what is what, we’ve tested over half a dozen configurations using the flagship Intel Core i9-11900K alongside an entry-level Core i3-10105F, which is a refreshed 10th gen part, featuring 4 cores with 8 threads.
But as always there seems to be conflicting reports, some claiming Windows 11 is much faster and others suggesting the opposite is true. There’s a few reasons why we wanted to test using Intel’s 10th and 11th gen CPUs first - of course, to see how much difference there is when compared to Windows 10 - but also to establish some baseline data that we can come back to in a few weeks with 12th-gen Alder Lake CPUs, which is meant to benefit from scheduling updates made with Windows 11.Īs far as we're aware, Intel 10th and 11th-gen desktop CPUs should deliver comparable performance using either Windows 10 or Windows 11. Today we’re talking our first real look at Windows 11 performance with some Intel Core processors.
