   CPU Issues: If your computer's CPU (Central Processing Unit) is overheating, damaged or outdated, it may struggle to handle tasks efficiently, leading to slow performance.

3. Idle (CPU) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(CPU)

   Idle is a state that a computer processor is in when it is not being used by any program. Every program or task that runs on a computer system occupies a certain amount of processing time on the CPU. If the CPU has completed all tasks it is idle. Modern processors use idle time to save power.

4. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

   typical thermal power, which is measured under normal load (for instance, AMD's average CPU power) maximum thermal power, which is measured under a worst-case load; For example, the Pentium 4 2.8 GHz has a 68.4 W typical thermal power and 85 W maximum thermal power. When the CPU is idle, it will draw far less than the typical thermal power.

5. System Idle Process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Idle_Process

   However, the idle process does not use up computer resources (even when stated to be running at a high percent). Its CPU time "usage" is a measure of how much CPU time is not being used by other threads. In Windows 2000 and later the threads in the System Idle Process are also used to implement CPU power saving.

6. Load (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)

   An idle computer has a load number of 0 (the idle process is not counted). Each process using or waiting for CPU (the ready queue or run queue) increments the load number by 1. Each process that terminates decrements it by 1. Most UNIX systems count only processes in the running (on CPU) or runnable (waiting for CPU) states.

   Its CPU cores are the first to be used in a Mac processor designed by Apple and the first to use the ARM instruction set architecture. It has 8 CPU cores (4 performance and 4 efficiency), up to 8 GPU cores, and a 16-core Neural Engine, as well as LPDDR4X memory with a bandwidth of 68 GB/s.

9. Task Manager (Windows) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Manager_(Windows)

   Task Manager, previously known as Windows Task Manager, is a task manager, system monitor, and startup manager included with Microsoft Windows systems. It provides information about computer performance and running software, including names of running processes, CPU and GPU load, commit charge, I/O details, logged-in users, and Windows services.
