Intel works with Google to optimize Chromium power savings

It is no exaggeration to say that the Chromium platform is now the king of the web browsing market, with a series of big names developed based on the Chromium core, typically Chrome and Egde new versions. However, Chrome is also famous for being a browser that consumes system resources and especially power on Windows devices. You can clearly see this when using Chrome on a battery-powered laptop.

However, this situation will soon change because recently, the world's leading processor manufacturer Intel has said that they are actively cooperating with Google engineers to find ways to improve power consumption. for Chromium platform, when running on Windows devices using Intel CPUs in particular and all computers equipped with Intel chips in general.

For example, some of Intel's latest processors, such as the Ice Lake series, will support 'RGB10 overlay' technology, which will improve system power consumption. There is also a feature that allows HDR video playback through the processor's built-in technology, helping to bring out optimum energy performance, and a host of other features.

'Intel platforms since Ice Lake will start supporting HDR content export through overlay technology with RGBA10 format. Enabling this feature will result in better power performance on the device '.

With over 2 billion installations worldwide, there is no doubt that Chromium browser platforms dominate the web browser market and this is a much needed improvement. Hopefully in the future, Chromium's ability to save energy is also optimized better on both mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets.

In a related news, both Google and Microsoft decided to stop distributing regular updates to Chrome and Edge in order to keep the situation stable as many engineers from both companies had to leave work or work. from home to work due to outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic.
