Hi bohaman, Apologies for reviving an old thread - I'm not sure if you got an answer to your question here or resolved it on your own, but I noticed the same problem. Turning off Memory Integrity within the Windows 11 VM, my CPU usage dropped back to normal levels.

Thanks, I'll definitely keep that as a contender. The other I am looking at is the Asus pro art which has 10 gb. I've plenty of time to decide. https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/proart/proart-z890-creator-wifi/

I'm also looking at upgrading my 13 year old hardware with arrow lake, especially for reduced power consumption but my hardware also is too slow for transcoding. But I'm likely to wait a month at least before making the upgrade. That said, does anyone have any motherboards that they are eyeballing to support? Typically in my usual rigs I stick with Asus rog strix but this will likely be overkill.

I'm in a similar situation, I am looking to upgrade and am contemplating going with a 12th gen i5. The other alternative is to wait and go with a 15th gen. Any thoughts on waiting?
