Just using newegg.com is borderline impossible with just a few tabs open unless you have 4 non-SMT threads. I have four Newegg tabs, one Amazon tab, one Verge tab, and one Engadget tab open in Firefox. CPU utilization is 3% on this ancient i3 laptop. Maybe your experience isn't typical. That's all I'm suggesting.
