On: Microsoft proves the critics right: We’re heading toward a Chrome-only Web

What kind of GPU does your windows machine have? I'm curious if that's the differentiator.

AMD R9 series something or other.

My hunch is the CPU is the differentiator. Chrome eats RAM, FF eats CPU. Maybe someone with more knowledge here has a more educated guess.

I did recently update my BIOS and it improved FF performance dramatically, reinforcing my belief it's the CPU. Pre and post spectre fix or whatever.
