Did you re-download Spotify from the Spotify website when you upgraded machines? If not, do so, so that you get the updated binary for Apple Silicon.
Are you seeing some sort of system misbehavior that leads you to think that this CPU usage is excessive?
Are you measuring 14% of a high-efficiency core or 14% of a high-performance core?
- antonmladenov 4y agoyes, right after setting up the new machine and upgrading to latest MacOS, I downloaded the Spotify desktop app right from their website. no, I don't see anything else going wrong. what I look at is Activity Monitor, the CPU tab, displaying All Processes, sorting the processes by % CPU and there exactly I see that Spotify takes more than 13%.
- altairprime 4y agoNothing is wrong. Comparing CPU usage percentages between Intel and M1 is not valid. In addition, the M1 percentages have been shown to be invalid under varying power and core conditions. As well, M1 apps are being forced to integrate with Silicon-accelerated macOS system frameworks (both GPU and CPU) rather than continue their lazier “use ffmpeg everywhere” approach.
