I performed a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 on my Samsung Series 7 Chronos (NP700Z7C-S02UK). I have applied all updates, but kworker still constantly uses 80% CPU. I cannot use Ubuntu on my laptop because of this bug as the fan thrashes and the unit becomes quite hot.
Have attached screenshot of my system monitor and top.
