Same hardware.
It seems to be principally due to lower latency (less time looking for stuff in RAM or HD) and improved power management.
Loul it is say one the article that not the same hardware at all.
I actually had to test this with my hardware, Win11 is atrocious. I don’t have exact numbers, but Win11 uses so much more RAM for itself that it’s really noticeable how it just gets slower so much faster when I open stuff.
On the one hand, using more RAM leaves less room for your stuff.
On the other hand, unused RAM doesn’t do anything for you.
So Windows 11 may actually be faster with sufficient RAM, but it’s gonna leave nothing for your applications.
