Google has spent years trying to reduce Chrome’s notorious appetite for memory<\/a>, and it’ll soon offer a substantial improvement for Windows 10 users. WindowsLatest<\/em> has learned<\/a> (via MSPowerUser<\/em><\/a>) that a Google engineer recently revealed<\/a> that a future Chrome release will use a technique from Microsoft Edge<\/a> to lower RAM usage and theoretically boost performance. Chrome will switch to “Segment Heap” memory management that, in Microsoft’s experience, cut memory use by 27 percent.<\/p>\n The improvements in Chrome could vary wildly depending on the system, but tests indicated that it could sometimes save “hundreds of MB” in the browser and system processes. “Many-core” systems are most likely to see the largest benefit, the engineer said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n You should see the feature soon after Google can build Chrome using the right Windows 10 developer kit. This won’t necessarily lead to massive improvements in performance, but it could help if you either have limited memory in your system or simply like to keep many browser tabs open.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Tags:<\/b> Jon Fingas<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
