The claim has a non linked URL where they compare the performance of a core i3 6th gen from a decade ago (presumably with 4gb ram) with a core ultra 5 just out (presumably with quadruple the RAM)

The difference in performance from a Intel 11th gen and Intel 12th gen, with the same amount of memory and the CPU in the same class, is not measurable in daily life. The average for w10 devices is skewed to the bottom, and it's also a comparison that doesn't make sense. Of course a computer from ten years ago is slower. I would be surprised if it wouldn't be like that.
They wanted to do a comparison like Apple "M1 is 4x faster than our previous Intel laptop" but at least apple says which exact benchmark uses and it's directly compared to the previous model on sale, not a random one from a decade ago (although Apple always chooses some useless benchmark like calculating integers or other stuff that has absolutely no impact in real life but has a higher result).
Here Microsoft says "Web browsing is up to 3.2x faster" but we all know that RAM heavily influences web browsing. How much memory the chosen sample has? They don't say it and I suspect they're comparing 4/8gb devices vs 16/32gb devices
Same for "Ms office is up to 2x times faster" but we all know that the difference is invisible in real use. Probably the w10 sample have sata HDDs (especially that i3-6100) while the w11 sample they all have nvme pcie gen 4 x4 drives so of course they load Microsoft word much faster.
