Microsoft warned Windows users of increased CPU usage when typing while using recent versions of the classic Outlook email client. The company acknowledged this issue following a wave of user reports on social media and various online platforms since early November, including Microsoft's community website. Those affected reported that disabling all spell-check options and add-ins did not resolve the CPU usage issues. In a new support document published this week, Microsoft now revealed that th

For popular threads with a lot of comments, collapsing a top comment leads to high CPU usage and can cause browsers (I tried in Chrome and Vivaldi) to freeze up. For example, this very popular thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43561253&utm_term=comment If you collapse the top comment, I see a huge spike in CPU and my system freezes temporarily. Is it just me?

The big picture: The CPU-Z survey for the first quarter of 2025 has revealed drastic shifts in multiple areas of the PC sector as users upgrade their CPUs, GPUs, and other components. Although Intel and Nvidia maintain market dominance in processors and graphics cards, respectively, AMD has made significant strides against both. Telemetry results from CPU-Z for April 1 show that eight-core processors are finally more popular than six-core chips. Monitor and GPU adoption also saw notable swings.

Multi-threading is always the wrong design “We’ll just do that on a background thread” uNetworking AB · Follow 4 min read · Nov 29, 2023 -- 34 Listen Share Say what you want about Node.js.

While benchmarking Go vs Elixir vs Node, we discovered that Elixir (running on the BEAM virtual machine) had much higher CPU usage than Go, and yet its responsiveness remained excellent. Some of our readers suggested that busy waiting may be responsible for this behavior. Turns out, busy waiting in BEAM is an optimization that ensures maximum responsiveness. In essence, when waiting for a certain event, the virtual machine first enters a CPU-intensive tight loop, where it continuously checks t

The GPU in your computer is about 10 to 100 times more powerful than the CPU, depending on workload. For real-time graphics rendering and machine learning, you are enjoying that power, and doing those workloads on a CPU is not viable. Why aren’t we exploiting that power for other workloads? What prevents a GPU from being a more general purpose computer? I believe there are two main things holding it back.

Even three years later, AMD's high-end X3D-series processors still aren't a thing that most people need to spend extra money on—under all but a handful of circumstances, your GPU will be the limiting factor when you're running games, and few non-game apps benefit from the extra 64MB chunk of L3 cache that is the processors' calling card.

AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D is probably the best CPU you can buy if you're trying to put together a fast gaming PC, thanks to its eight Zen 5 CPU cores and extra helping of 3D V-Cache. You don't really need more CPU cores than this to play games, and most games benefit from the extra cache more than they do from a bit of extra clock speed. AMD announced today that it's following up the 9800X3D with two higher-end X3D processors next week. The 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X3D and 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D are bo
