Re:AMD doubles the number of CPU cores it offers to Chromebooks by jewel on Saturday May 07, 2022 @01:58PM (#31296907)
The bottleneck is usually RAM. It looks like his device has 4GB, which is similar to what a cell phone has.

It doesn't take much manufacturer-supplied bloatware, bad drivers, or background processes to use up that much RAM but a Chromebook is just the kernel and Chrome, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Similar to what a mid-range phone has :)
