Hi, I've been using a Dell XPS with a 12700H processor to scrape websites, keeping around 50 browser tabs open. I'm managing about 120 pages per minute. The CPU is running at 70% to 90%, sometimes hitting its limit. Thermal throttling is common. After upgrading to the 5950X, I expected a 30-40% boost or better performance with less load. Now I'm getting 100 pages per minute and the CPU is at 95% to 100%. The package shows 100W power draw, but both systems have identical RAM and storage. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Martin
You're referring to a system with 64GB RAM, an Intel 4800, and an AMD 3200. It seems you're wondering how memory constraints might affect performance. If the RAM is limited, it could indeed impact the CPU's effectiveness.
Most CPU reporting tools indicate how long it takes for the CPU to return control. If the CPU is waiting for ram, you could see higher time activity yet get less done. Maybe looking at CPU power usage could give a better indication there, as that is more indicative of it doing work. Can't directly compare across different CPUs.
This scenario likely depends heavily on network capacity rather than just CPU power. There may also be some browser-related processing involved. It seems best to run the operation in a dedicated, multi-threaded environment instead of using a browser. You don’t need to load HTML just to extract data.
