Ryzen 7 9700X in the Linux test: Faster and more efficient than under Windows?

According to this test, the new Ryzen 9700X is faster on Linux than on windows in most use cases.

A conclusion is also made:
For gamers, however, the Ryzen 7000X3D remains the first choice, regardless of the operating system used.

I don't know if this conclusion is entirely correctly reasoned.
You can e.g. also use the R7 9700X in Linux and then you might have narrowly higher performance in games than the Ryzen 7000 generation + windows.
In apps you then also have higher performance than Ryzen 7000 + windows, and lower power consumption.

If you are not using a high-end GPU, it might make more sense to go for the R7 9700X + Linux combination.
The differences in gaming are very minimal compared to the Ryzen 7000 + Linux combination.
It seems then it makes more sense to go for more performance in apps + lower power consumption.
