A Look At The Intel Cascade Lake Performance For Windows Server 2019 vs. Linux vs. FreeBSD Benchmarks

The FLAC and MP3 audio encoding performance was similar between Windows Server and the Linux distributions.

Windows Server performance with Perl using Strawberry Perl remains multiple times slower than Linux.

Linux also continues leading in the Blender rendering performance, similar to what we have seen on other Intel and AMD platforms.

For those wondering how the Microsoft Windows Server 2019 performance is stacking up against Linux and even FreeBSD, hopefully you found these numbers interesting. These were just some preliminary tests and more data will be on the way soon. For those curious about the Windows Server performance in other common Windows benchmarks like WinSAT, Cinebench, Novabench, Geekbench, and Euler3D, there is some data via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file.
