Same CPU in my Windows workstation and it's plenty smooth. Not just usable, but smooth. This is at 4K.
Do you have a modern GPU, or something quite old? Or do you have browser hardware acceleration disabled?
If not for your GPU, it's also possible that Linux simply performs significantly worse than Windows for whatever reason.
- xedrac 5y agoYes, I have a recent and powerful GPU with hardware acceleration enabled. I also tried this on my Windows box (i7-9700k, Nvidia GTX 1070), and if anything, it performs a little worse than my Linux box. It's definitely usable. I just have a low tolerance for sluggish software.
- iamlemec 5y agoJust another data point here: I'm running a relatively high-end workstation on Linux/Fedora 36, and it is quite smooth in Chrome but somewhat sluggish in Firefox.
