Do you have any data to show it actually is better?
Desktop and server workloads aren't that different in practice.
It is very hard to measure responsiveness (which is basically the only thing zen claims to be better at) without a lot of time investment and a high speed camera for frame analysis.
I guess a possible setup would be to run a multicore synthetic workload that takes most of the system resources and measuring the start time desktop applications.
But nobody has done it in a "scientific" way as far as I can see. Besides some hobbyist anecdotal observations:
