CPU usage when loading websites

[CaptainCool]

Hey guys, 

very quick: My i5 650 from 2010 (I know, it's old) shows nearly 100% usage (in the windows task manager) when loading a video on Youtube for example. Can someone with a 4790k or simmilar CPU what it looks like when they do so? 

Thanks Guys

You sure HW acceleration is being used so the GPU does the decoding...

Maybe its being forced upon your CPU for some reason.

My CPU usage always spikes when opening a new page, I think that's because it's an old i3 though.

browsers these days got multithreading support so it utilizes the cpus pretty decent... it even pulls 60% off a 4690k when loading stuff ( with oc too )

 

cpu should get utilized for a short flash but constant utilization is a problem

Okay well it isn't constantly running hard, just a slight spike in usage until the page is loaded.

Not entirely, they said it's pinned while doing something like loading a YouTube video. Which may or may not cause high CPU usage, but that's not something I can find out right now. I'm guessing it could, loading a video might stress the CPU, but I don't know at the moment.

My 5 years old dual-core AMD APU did spike as OP mention, It just normal.. Don't worry, OP.
