Try lowering all settings to lowest. Try loading some old and light map, for example cache (or office even better). E.g inferno and nuke are very heavy. Check that you don't have many RAM using background processes on going same time.

The CPU supports data processing by performing the functions of fetch, decode and execute on programmed instructions. Taken together, these functions are frequently referred to as the instruction cycle. In addition to the instruction cycle functions, the CPU performs fetch and write functions on data.

Unit of Concurrency Multitasking - Multiple tasks/processes running concurrently on a single CPU. The operating system executes these tasks by switching between them very frequently. The unit of concurrency, in this case, is a Process. Multithreading - Multiple parts of the same program running concurrently.

A central processing unit (CPU) is an important part of every computer. The CPU sends signals to control the other parts of the computer, almost like how a brain controls a body. The CPU is an electronic machine that works on a list of computer things to do, called instructions.

Today, CPUs have been two and 18 cores, each of which can work on a different task. A core can work on one task, while another core works a different task, so the more cores a CPU has, the more efficient it is.

CPU-Z test is pretty useless. AIDA64 is good enough for moderate use. Prime95 for 2-4 hours stable is a good spot to hit for maximum stability. Obviously, these types of stability only applies to mission non-critical systems.

CPU bound means the program is bottlenecked by the CPU, or central processing unit, while I/O bound means the program is bottlenecked by I/O, or input/output, such as reading or writing to disk, network, etc. In general, when optimizing computer programs, one tries to seek out the bottleneck and eliminate it.

Most computers are built to use up to 400 kilowatts of electricity per hour, but they usually use less than that. The average CPU uses about as many kilowatts per hour as the typical light bulb.
