I don't know why, I hope that the online call to re-add the start menu on Win8 is very high, but is it really so heavy? Maybe Win7 is easy to switch menus, and the size of the small area is also People mistakenly think that running the program at the same time pops up the start menu is also smooth.
In fact, Xiaobian wants to tell the netizen a fact: even if you run more programs under Win8, and between the programs, the program and the Metro start interface can be switched freely, the system runs smoothly and steadily, do not believe us. test.
Resource occupancy comparison: Win7 VS Win8 start
Let's take a look at the CPU and memory usage of 16 applications (including task manager) open under Win7 system and whether the system will run at this time. ?
Tips: Notepad is a small program that takes up less resources. Xiaobian repeatedly opens it to make up 16 applications.
Open 16 applications under Win7
Although Xiaobian has opened 6 Notepad applets, there are also big programs Photoshop, browsers, etc., but 16 applications have made Win7 look very crowded. CPU usage is 36% (low), memory usage is as high as 1.79GB, and small computer memory is only 2GB, and the current browser program has started to be a bit stuck.
CPU and memory occupancy statistics
Then look at Win8, Win8 environment to open 16 applications, the same large program Photoshop, IE10 (Win8 preset IE10) browser, also includes 6 Metro style programs, small series and even free to switch between programs, between the program and the Metro start screen.
So, under basically the same conditions (more demanding than Win7 conditions), let's take a look at the resources occupied by Win8's 16 applications. In the end, will the system run unsmoothly? Br>
16 applications under Win8
The same 16 applications, whether you have between the programs, the program and the Metro start screen switch between multiple times, the CPU usage under Win8 accounted for 3 %, in the case of a total memory of 2GB, only takes up 1.3GB of physical memory, and the system runs smoothly, and is as smooth as when only one program is opened.
Win8 system CPU and memory statistics
statistics, whether it is the CPU and memory occupancy rate or system stability and fluency, Win8 has a significant advantage over Win7.
Why does Win8 save resources and streamline?
The Win8 system itself is designed to balance the cross-platform of PCs, tablets, and mobile phones. In terms of saving resources and saving energy, it is naturally superior to Win7 system, and Win8 also provides a unified task management module for program background tasks. Metro style applications can implement background planning tasks without having to run processes in the background. Therefore, when the user switches the process or goes to the Metro interface without affecting the smooth running of the system, the Metro start screen can be used in the same way as Win7's compact start menu.
