There are such an enormous array of possible influences on this, most likely being the power profile.

By default Windows on a laptop (in this case a Zenbook S 14 with Core Ultra 7 256V) uses a reduced power mode where it limits the max frequency and is less aggressive in scaling up core frequency because of the greatly reduced return per unit of power (which can destroy battery life and make heat profiles unacceptable).

This comparison makes no mention of the power profile, nor does it observe battery usage if applicable.

This looks like a misleading if not completely useless clickbait comparison. Others mentioned schedulers, and while schedulers can account account for a percent or two difference across this sort of wide workload, instead a huge disparity is seen.
