    Windows Defender makes Intel CPUs work harder than AMD CPUs...


    Windows Defender is using more system resources on Intel PCs - gHacks Tech News


    Windows Defender consumes more resources on Intel CPUs

    Antivirus programs are constantly scanning your system for unusual activity to prevent malware from impacting your system. That's normal, and Windows Defender is no exception to this.

    But there's more to it than meets the eye. A screenshot shared by Techpowerup shows that Defender used about 4% of the CPU while CineBench was running, and some benchmark comparisons resulted in a 6% loss because the antivirus was using excessive resources. It uses these for the Real-time Protection notifications.


    Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

    I hope MS releases an out of band update or something. This is really sloppy work MS.
