Browser and GPU process are much higher compared to Brave
Edge Insiders,
My name is Tim Scudder and I’m a member of the Edge performance team. I wanted to provide an update on this issue: we were able to repro the problem locally, we have a fix coded, validated and are now working to get this change into our next dev drop (estimated to be 76.0.166.0).
We apologize for the inconvenience, but truly appreciate everyone’s help in isolating the problem.
NOTE: We are also aware of a VSync timer tick issue that also has CPU/battery impact that originated upstream in Chromium's codebase. This issue has been fixed upstream and we are also working to make sure the fix is in our next dev drop (again, estimated to be 76.0.166.0)
Regards,
Tim Scudder
Are you stating that Edge Chromium uses only ONE core of ANY CPU? Where did you get it from? Also, I don't need to look at any Task Manager - when my laptop fans are sounding like turbines all the time I know Edge is idling, now uninstalled. :)
My main concern is, Edge Preview devs have an approved roadmap, which directs them to concentrate on full set feature transfer, and moving from Chrome to MS services. Which means, performance optimization issues may be very last ones on their mind right now. So no such bugs might be fixed in forceable future, thus cutting off current enthusiastic but fast shrinking testers pull. There always be some hardcore folks, knowing little about tech, but asking to add this or that classic button or check box thinking Edge team "forget" it, so targeted "web noise level" will be maintained.
I too stopped using Chromium Edge too due to performance problem. I switched back to Google Chrome and was surprised that my laptop got quiet again :-(. Very sad. I hope MS will fix this performance issue very soon.
I reported this issue via feedback and attached screenshot with task manager showing CPU and GPU consumption in idle state when only start page is open.
