It's a Linux website. They are not interested in the performance of the CPU with Windows or Mac OS.

As far as the mismatched CPU and whatnot... These are the same sort of CPUs that you can get in the same form factor at around the same price.

So the comparison is valid.

The only thing suspect is the 8 vs 16GB of RAM. But since these are CPU-bound benchmarks I don't know how much of a actual difference that will make.

Phoronix regularly benchmarks across OSs.

Type "Windows" into the search bar in the top right. Example: https://www.phoronix.com/review/windows-linux-mid22adl

The memory difference might be addressed with the `mem=8G` Linux kernel boot parameter.
