IE 8 needs to occupy-MB of memory and will generate-parallel execution threads.

According to a report on July 22, September 3, the PC performance testing software vendor exo. performance. network testing showed that IE 8 is not only larger than IE 7, but also has higher requirements on resources.

According to foreign media reports, the test shows that IE 8 cores occupies-Mb/s memory, and there will be parallel execution threads and 6 iexplore.exe process instances. The demand for resources exceeds twice that of Firefox.

Exo. performance. network tested the running status of IE 8, IE 7, and Firefox 3.01 on Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1 systems respectively.

After Windows XP SP3 is started on a system with 1 GB of memory configured, the available memory is more than 800 mb. However, after IE 8 is started, the remaining available memory is less than half of the original memory, therefore, it can be said that the memory used by IE 8 exceeds Windows XP; the test result on Vista is worse. In fact, the head of IE 8 is larger than Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007.

According to industry analysts, Internet Explorer 8 may be a future-oriented product launched by Microsoft. Microsoft understands that intel and AMD will have at least four kernels integrated into their next-generation processors, memory prices are getting cheaper-there are already fans of hardcore windows running 64-bit version Vista on a system with 8 GB of memory.

Microsoft's strategy may work. Once the hardware resources can meet the requirements of IE 8, users will find that the Internet experience is smoother.
