One of these machines is a 16gb older macbook pro running the latest, the other was unboxed a couple days ago an is a 32gb m1 max with only the latest Adobe Creative Cloud on it installed on it and it's the same issue, 30 different instance of Core Sync helper as well as "Using Significant Energy". Never mind these 2 machines Core Sync has been a resource draining dumpster fire for years and years.
Trying to trouble shoot this over the years some of the soutions offered by support include;
- Most of the support just denys this is an issue.
- Some suggest these are not genuine
- some suggest to close these out from Activity Montior (every time??), like what kind of solution is this?
This is such a wide spread issue a simple Google search produces 3rd party guides "How to fix High CPU disable Core Sync which solve this by disabling Core Sync which defeats the point of having it.
Stack Exchange talks about this problem
From others in the community
This is still unresolved years later. I was wondering why my brand new MacBook Pro sounds like an aircraft taking off, it's because Adobe is hogging 95%+ of my CPU! Please provide a legitamite fix, this is ridiculous.

I am having the same issue.
Such a dumpster fire I wish Adobe Developers would ACTUALLY solve this instead of skirting the issue.
It's been ongoing for years and years
There are some from 2015 as well.
