Try doing a similar workload in safari and see how it goes with the cpu usage and make your choices,

it looks like google was downloading and updating a lot of stuff when you took that activity monitor screenshot it may well have calmed down a bit now.

I don't think google chrome is the problem because even when chrome is closed the cpu usage is high

I think you are right although google downloader is nearly as bad for your system it seems.

Looked up storeassetd and it’s a bug with the Mac App Store that can use all your cpu.

Use force quit to stop the process and do an SMC reset.
