Calm down, everyone.
We saw the exact same thing with Win7 vs Linux vs Mac OSX back in the day, when Win7 emerged. Pretty significant decreases in render times on the same CPUs, favoring Linux/MacOSX. At least these days they didn't bother testing with OSX.
Why? Because they're using the DEFAULT settings in Win10, plain and simple. Just like we narrowed that gap on Win7 down to margin of error, we would do the same here with Win10.
You simply ditch Win10s affinity/priority mechanisms and go third party. Process Lasso and many similar TaskManager-replacers easily allow this behavior. Anyone using a renderfarm or working in CC should already be familiar with these - background apps that control priorities and core-affinities much better than the barebones Microsoft tools. Hell, I always turn off two cores for Maya so even when rendering a system is buttery-smooth. Only a fool would use every core for rendering and still try to use the computer for other purposes, even with 32 cores. The browser itself should have a few dedicated cores anyway.
The gap between Linux and Windows is a failure of Microsoft to give the user OPTIONS, and that's it. Easily bypassed in a very direct fashion.
