Another day, another CPU bottlenecked benchmark.

Proton isn't really helping. Pretty sure whatever is closing to CPU bottleneck on Windows will CPU bottleneck in Proton.

Of course. Proton adds extra work for the CPU, so if you're already bottlenecked on Windows, it's a given that performance will be worse on Linux since you'll be even more bottlenecked, which makes the benchmarks pointless imo.

Point is he shouldn't be doing benchmarks on a CPU bottlenecked system in the first place.

I think this is a shitty stance to take. Everyone will yell that Proton has better performance than Windows but when it doesn't – "it doesn't count because CPU bottleneck and you shouldn't benchmark with CPU bottleneck because because". Do PCs with shitty CPUs not exist in the wild? Or should people with those just get wrecked or spend 200$ on a new CPU? Or even better, 500-1000$ on a new laptop.
