higher cpu usage in ubuntu 12.04 than windows 7
- by Medya
Hi I have a Intel Core i5 with 6GB of Ram using ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
I noticed that whenever I run chrome which is the faster browser for me in linux) when I watch youtube, the CPU usage for Chrome is at least 13% and sometimes even 30% .
but in Windows 7 same thing (youtube on chrome) rarely uses more than 6% of my CPU usage.
I also notice my laptop is so hot in ubuntu 12.04 and the fan is working all the time, while in windows the laptop is so silent and the fan doesnt make much noise all the time and not as warm as in linux.
is it like that for every one or is it just me?
