No, Assassin's Creed Origins is not notably CPU intensive.

Check if your PC is the issue or the game itself. Your R4600H can hit 100% usage, which might strain it.
Place the bottleneck on the GPU (like using higher resolution and downsampling) might cause a poor performance. See some tips and CPU tests here: https://www.techspot.com/article/1525-as...-cpu-test/
The current Assassin's Creed titles resemble traditional single-threaded CPU games that rely on a single processing unit to drive the graphics. The performance hinges on the speed of that thread, and they typically avoid using the most powerful CPU cores available. Boosting isn't effective here. To achieve better results, the only viable option is a full-core overclock. This setup demonstrates clearly with an i7 8086k/2080 Ti running at 5GHz all cores. CPU5 handles the intensive tasks, while the i9 10900k remains standard and underperforms the i7. In other titles, the i9 10900k dominates, whereas CPU11 excels by offloading work to CPU1 and 2, allowing the i7 with all cores to shine.
The CPU usage can jump to 100% because it reflects how many threads are being processed at once, even though the GPU is running on a single thread. This mismatch causes the CPU to handle more work than it should, leading to high utilization.
It could be due to the laptop's integrated graphics. I only have Origins installed on my 10-core machine, yet it rarely reaches 100%. This happens at 4k ultra resolution.
Actually, I don't have that setup. I have a Ryzen 4600H and an 1650Ti Mobile.
