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
Following the same logic, can you give some alternative links for Chromium Task Manager? I'm merely asking for sources, not sure how it measures the load. :)
sambul95 I ran the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark and here you can see an Edge process using more than 100% CPU. (At one point it spiked to over 200% but I missed grabbing a screen shot for that.)
Aaron44126 Thanks, Aaron. I was able to replicate your results on a Dell XPS 8920 (i7, 4 physical cores, 8 logical processors). The Edge Chromium Task Manager showed 139.6% CPU use, while at the same moment, Windows Task Manager was showing 20.5% CPU use. I think you've confirmed that the two measure/report CPU usage on differently, and your single/multi core explanation makes sense to me.
It well may be that one CPU core power in https://superuser.com/questions/162590/setting-permanent-process-cpu-core-affinities-in-windows or Chrome https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/threading_and_tasks.md is enough per Chromium process to render most webpages. It looks like Browser Task Manager is designed to reflect that as you suggested earlier. :)
