Why are Macs faster than PC?

Am I missing something? I keep watching Youtube speed tests with a Mac (with like a core i3) vs a core i7 PC, and the pc loses everytime? Why does the Mac boot faster if the hardware is inferior?

This is just one video. I'm not a troll, I just want to know how this is even possible....

Well OSX does seem to be a better engineered OS compared to Windows, Valve recently said that their OSX Steam client crashes a LOT less compared to the Windows version, even though its only just been released. Personally I would love to run OSX but I wont until its plays ALL pc games and allows me to use custom hardware.

WOW! This guy is so cool! I wish I was a mindless hipster Mac user.

It's probably beause a Mac doesn't have a traditional BIOS like a PC does.

osx tends to run less background tasks (because the OS isn't smart enouhg to run many?)

if u install windows on a mac laptop, bye bye over half ur battery power!

OSX architecture is a lot less bloated when it has to loads compared to Windows, doesn't need all the various startup services that Windows has to boot, EFI is really a lot better then a traditional BIOS which 95% of the Windows computers probably use.

Although I did ready something awhile back that Dell is exploring using EFI for their machines but haven't heard anything sense. OSX doesn't have to deal with a registry, doesn't have to deal with file paths and doesn't require a ton of services just to get going not to mention Apple does take a lot of care in their OS to make sure it works on their hardware as best as possible.
