I check Cinebench and Passmark

Cinebench

Wine - 4112 points

Windows - 3874 points

Passmark

Wine - 7053 points

Windows - 6864 points

Linux - 7145 points

It looks like the problem is in cpu-z and not in wine or linux

Why is windows slacking so much there? Or is lower better on these ones?

It's not unusual to see better performance on Wine compared to native Windows. Wine is a compatibility layer, not an emulator. So there's not a lot of overhead. Additionally, vanilla Windows has a lot of background bloat consuming resources.

Internet searches show many instances of people reporting higher FPS in games on Wine vs vanilla Windows (on the same machine).

That's actually excellent. I knew that 'Wine Is Not an Emulator' from their web page but I didn't know I could expect better performance in anything running with it.
