With Intel's Open Image Denoise library that is part of their oneAPI rendering toolkit, there was similar performance on both Windows 11 and Linux across both the Zen 4 and Zen 5 processors.

But when turning to Intel's OSPRay ray-tracing engine and using the official binaries on both Windows and Linux, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was seeing a hell of a lot more uplift out of the Ryzen 9 9950X than there was under Windows 11. OSPRay is another AVX-512 capable workload.

In some OSPRay configurations there was similar AMD CPU generational uplift under Windows 11 and Linux but in other cases leaning clearly in favor of Linux performance.

With the OSPRay Studio application and using the official binaries on each platform, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was faster on both AMD Ryzen processors and tended to overall have slightly greater uplift going from the Ryzen 9 7950X to 9950X processors.
