    CPU can't be idle in dual graphics


    My laptop Sony VAIO has dual graphics Intel HD 4000 and Radeon HD 7600M (switchable) with Windows 10 (1809). It can play 3D games using HD 7600M properly.

    I notice there is something strange in Task Manager, CPU can't be idle and the clock speed changes contiuously nearing max speed clock (2.5 GHz). If Windows is idle in 10 or 20 minutes, it will freeze.

    If Radeon HD 7600M is disabled in Device Manager, CPU is able to be idle and the clock can be low 1.2GHz.

    I thought there was a bug in HD 7600M driver that came from Windows Update, so I updated to the latest version from AMD website (either Catalyst or Crimson). Apparently the problem is still there.

    I attached 3 screenshots of Task Manager below.

    Please help me, how can I fix this problem?

  2. N95, N96 dual CPU, N97 single? Dual CPU s60 5th edition on the horizon?

    I've been playing around with Nokia's new QT development stuff. It's all pretty neat. It would be even better if I could use it to develop for Symbian under Linux or Mac, but that asides..



    I came across a list of platform types:

    Installer for all S60 5.0 (5th Edition) devices with a single CPU, such as the N97 and 5800 XpressMusic



    Seems reasonable, but I also saw:

    Installer for all S60 5.0 (5th Edition) devices with dual CPUs


    Hmmmm.. dual CPU S60 5th edition?



    It lists some S60 3rd edition dual cpu phones too: N95 and N96

    So, why exactly is the N95/N96 dual cpu, but the N97 isn't? Sure that was a step backwards?



    Interesting though.. I wonder what the first dual CPU S605th phone will be? Presumably, something faaar better than the somewhat dull N97! I mean, honestly.. who wouldn't put a decent GPU in their flagship phone? presumably the same people who would put
    OS storage in double digit MB.. grrrr ..

  3. System Idle Process CPU Allocation?

    Hi,

    I am Sumit, an Independent advisor and a Microsoft MVP here to help.

    System Idle Process, as the name suggests is a process that indicates CPU is idle and is not being used, aka is at rest. This is done to totalize CPU usage to 100 between the processes.

    So you do not have to worry about anything.
