Ensuring Minecraft 1.8.9 operates smoothly with four cores at 60-70% utilization is possible.
Ensuring Minecraft 1.8.9 operates smoothly with four cores at 60-70% utilization is possible.
I'm checking if others have experienced this on their systems. I've tried it on my previous laptop (Tecra M5, Core Duo T2600/Core 2 Duo T7600+Quadro NVS 110M) and it ran on just one core. On my desktop (i5 4440/GTX 650ti, i7 4790K/GTX 970 G1), it uses multiple threads. Your setup with a Pavilion DV6 and specific hardware seems quite different from what I've seen.
It's happening the same for me too, and there doesn't seem to be any progress in performance compared to earlier versions.
You're running the standalone version (MSI, no Java needed), consuming more than half the CPU. When you close it, all cores return to idle, which means it's definitely Minecraft.
Checking 1.7 could be due to lower core performance compared to your desktop.
Despite that, it ran on just one core from the Core Duo T2600, which I’m aware is typically less efficient for both single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks.
