Why This Bottleneck Occurs
At 1080p resolution for gaming, the Intel Atom N550 (Mobile) 1.50 GHz creates a moderate bottleneck (25%) when paired with the Intel Arc A770. The CPU cannot feed data to the GPU fast enough, meaning the Intel Arc A770 is not being fully utilized. At 1080p, the CPU is under heavier load because frame rates are higher and the GPU finishes frames faster.
