Depends on BIOS settings, drivers and how well the chipset handles USB.

With a good combination of BIOS settings, CPU, mainboard and drivers you can achieve this kind of performance:

With tools like latencymon you can check whether a driver is blocking your CPU for too long.
Mandatory is to disable energy saving in the BIOS entirely.
Use the energy profile "High Performance".
If Desktop PC: disable CPU core parking using the Bitsum Tool parkcontrol. With that tool you can fine tune the Windows energy profiles in terms of clock speed and whether CPU cores shall be parked.
It can help to optimize for background performance, see my other blog article: https://www.tonstudio-forum.de/blog/ind … es-or-not/
I "tamed" Win10 with O&O Win10 Shutup.
Avoid unnecessary add-on tools for your mainboard that might slow down the system like: bios / driver updaters, fan control, etc. They are not always well written and can slow down the system.
I made the experience, that with Windows 10 20H2 I do not require anymore special drivers for mainboard and chipset, everything is being installed along with the windows installation.
Do not install certain programs/services that kill CPU performance.
Do not use silly registry cleaner that mess up the system.
Use a good backup recovery tool like Macrium Reflect.
