Esif_if kernel may be from the Intel® Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Utility Application.
I can't find much about Esif_if kernel other than a file named esif_assist.exe
Do you know if you have that installed?

On another note -
- 50% of ? means nothing.
Some laptops are using 100% on startup, others use 10%, some others may use 60%
It all depends on the amount of ram installed, and how many drivers, apps, services etc get started when windows loads up.

Open your taskmanager and see what's using your ram, and post how much ram you have.
