A core is the smallest independent unit that implements a general-purpose processor a processor is an assemblage of cores (on some ARM systems, a processor is an assemblage of clusters which themselves are assemblages of cores).
They refer to the processor architecture. The words “CPU”, “processor” and “core” are used in somewhat confusing ways. This does not means that IO device will be at maximum speed, but io device will be 100% busy, which sometimes affects applications using IO ex: music may break. But CPU usage wasn't 100% because of IO response time. What about turbo boost? Are all cores are turbo boosted or only physical?Īny method in Ubuntu to get current cpu frequency to see if the processor is on turbo boost or not? Once my cpu load was 3.70, Is this maximum load? Still at that time cpu was at <50%.

If I have 2 cores then load 2 will give 100% cpu utilization. While I was learning about cpu load, I came to know that it depends on the number of cores.
