With iStat, that isn't 'boosting' that you're seeing, it's CPU usage, from 0-100%.

I'd say you're running a single threaded application if you're seeing 1 core 'full'/near 100% and the others idle, without much taking up CPU in the background (other apps, OS tasks, etc.)

Single threaded programs will only use one of the cores. Normal.

if u got the i5 / o7 series, it boosts automatically

It's normal, turbo boost is a tool that makes your computer works with less cores possible! Turbo boost give a turbo on the core that is activated, if you have not much programs running obviously the computer just turn on 1 core, if needed computer turns on other core itself! Don't worry! 😀

Most programms are still single threaded hence they will use 100% of 1 core while other are mutlithreaded using more cores and the cpu will boost depending on the amount of threads.

And? Did you not read everything people have taken the time to write for you?
