I'll take a look later but quick check he is using two different devices which means its not identical hardware/ firmware.

Also there are many many many more cases where performance has been the same

And countless others who see no difference between windows and Linux.

Most times if there is is due to dxvk / Proton fixing a game bug/bottleneck, or invalid testing with not identical settings/hardware.

There is no way windows is using more power and giving lower clock rates without some other bug effecting it.

Edit: finished the video. He didn't show any actual testing its basically as in depth as the Tom's article.

I'm also suspicious of those tests since they don't show details like power usage. Same problem Tom's did here, took the data at face value missing the clear signs in the original video showing how it was tested improperly.

There are many tweaks and bugs like 17w being 20w+ with this version of the os.

This is purely from a broken test. Watch the video and you'll see that its not testing with the same power limits.

17w tests are actually 16w vs 20w+ and 35w test is 25w vs 35w

This leads to drastically higher clock speeds on both cpu and gpu as seen in the video and thus higher fps (and power draw, so lower battery life)
