It uses 17-25% CPU with Chrome, 4k fullscreen, 60fps and I use a Dell XPS laptop.


that's tons since for windows 100% is all virtual cores utilized. If the machine is 4 cores/8 threads - that's one full core.


Big deal. That's literally why you've got 3 more cores.


With that logic, you can never run more than 4 applications at once. The point is that for what it does, it shouldn't even be close to utilizing a full CPU core on a modern machine.


Well, for that matter, for what it does, it shouldn't even exist.


Huge deal not everyone is running 4 cores.


Core i5 first generation came out in 2009 with 4 cores: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_i5_processo...


Even with the 3 extra cores for most laptops it means thermal (or power) throttle and likely high memory and cache pressure.
