Huge load on the CPU not distributed appropriately

I’ve never bothered to look at my own computer before, so I just did a test. I have a 4790K with 16GB and a 2070Super on an old MSI Gaming 5 MB.

Of my 8 logical CPU’s, while flying, I have one running at 90% consistently, 2 running around 60% and the other 5 between 30 and 40%.

So we may be discussing semantics here. (And yes, I’m going to call them CPU’s from now on :wink: ).
To one person, that may be evenly spread, to another, that could be considered one CPU running really hot compared to the rest. The point is, one logical core is carrying a huge load compared to the others.

I also want to point out, I have xCon running, Task Manager, and at least 50 Firefox tabs going, and at least 100 other programs running, so who knows where all that processing is going…
