It's likely your imagination, between Futuremark and Tom's Windows 7x64 benches higher than 8 on most things.



That's when you can benchmark it of course, a lot of graphic intensive items are simply failing. The joys of a new OS.

Some boot times are a bit better, but nothing most people will notice.



And again, most times it bombs out on the higher end stuff.

Kind of a mess when you include the downsides of Metro and the lackluster performance.
