Answer» I am not at all well INFORMED about hardware issues but would like to learn a bit about my 2-in-1 Tablet's CPU. Since upgrading to Windows 10 it seems to be running at 100% more OFTEN and for longer than it used to, with W8.1.
The CPU is an Intel Atom Z3740 @ 1.33GHz Bay Trail-T 22nm Technolog Currently running at 73 °C
I understand, and am not surprised, that this is a 'fairly old, cheap' CPU but my Tablet runs quite well and the upgrade to 10 has been a success. The Tablet is a Quantum View 10.1.
Is a 100% any cause for concern? Nothing untoward seems to happen when it is at this level. There are 4 Cores, each of which are at 100% at the same time. In my ignorance I rather thought that the computer might grind to a halt, freeze or crash but it continues to run OK.Windows 10 does many THINGS in the background. I have a Z3775 tablet upgraded from Win8.1 to Win10, both 32-bit. Win10 Task Manager shows which apps are using resources.
100% is not cause for concern, unless it stays there for a long period of time.Thanks, that is re-assuring. I know what is using most resources, it is my (much loved) Desktop Gadgets, I GUESS because several of them are constantly monitoring, including the CPU Usage Monitor itself.
