Windows 7 consumes memory and processor in an “alarming”

February 20th, 2010 — 12:09pm

According to data compiled by the collaborative site XPnet at 23,000 computers, 86% of machines with Windows 7 functioned normally consume over 90% of installed RAM. Also the processor usage was much higher than other systems such as Windows XP. Windows 7 is a resource guzzler or an excellent manager of the same?

The analyst Craig Barth explained that according to data from the INMESA XPnet most computers with Windows 7 worked near the saturation point of forcing the RAM to throw virtual memory.

Barth called the consumption of resources as “alarming” but said he could not determine whether that use memory (between 90 and 95% in Windows 7 compared to 50% on Windows XP) was specific operating system or more open applications.

The analyst explained that the consumption was even more remarkable considering that the mean of RAM installed on computers with Windows 7 was twice that in Windows XP (3.3 vs. 1.7 GB).

Also, the burden of the microprocessor in Windows 7 is far superior to Windows XP, and here the average power of the former far exceeds that of XP. Is it a real glutton Windows 7? Get more / better resources available?
