Edge and Chrome startup speed

The new Chrome build (87.0.4280.66 ) is really quick to open. Much faster than any version of Edge, not that I care much about it. However, at least on my PC, the CPU consumption is horrible, a...

Chrome faster? are you sure?
can you record a 60fps video?

with startup boost on Edge dev or canary, Edge opens instantly. chrome can't be faster than that unless it's installed inside the RAM!

my hardware is 5 years old, I have NVMe M.2 SSD and 3200mhz DDR4 RAM, i7 7700K
latest version of Windows 10 20H2

i have something similar, (but Ryzen 2700X for CPU, and Edge Obliterate completely chrome, in therme of speed and consumption).
Just the domain who are blocked (DNS or Extension) who wait for timeout and let the load icon turn event if the page is loaded let think it slower but when we use bench tool and extension to mesure load time it's definitely loaded before chrome.

Ryzen is great, the 3000 series is a lot better than the best Intel CPU. AMD completely ruined Intel and Nvidia with Ryzen 3000 and Radeon 6800 series. my next CPU definitely is going to be AMD.

DNS blocking is easy to circumvent. if you use proxy, VPN, TOR etc, they all bypass the Windows hosts file.
