Hi Guys,
So i've just downloaded iStat to keep an eye on my late 2013 MBP 13", first thing I noticed were that the load values were rather high. The CPU is a dual core i5, 2.4ghz which identifies as four cores due to hyper threading. so a load beyond 4.0 would mean the cpu is overloaded.
Here's three scenarios demonstrating different workloads and the respective load values;
Scenario 1 - Completely Idle
Load Values are between 1.7 - 2
Scenario 2 - Atom IDE, few tabs on chrome, mail app and a few finders
Load Values are between 2.3 - 2.7
Scenario 3 - Atom IDE, IntelliJ, 8-10 java services running, scala project recompiling every 2-3 minutes few tabs on chrome, mail app and a few finders
Load Values are between 6.1 - 8.5
What are you thoughts? Am I just pushing my cpu too hard?
