I've never seen the point of looking at activity monitor, what matters is DAW performance. If a plugin spikes past 100% in Ableton or Logic's CPU monitor you get pops. Thing runs at 15-25% in Logic and Ableton's CPU monitor (ie ~20% of one core) on both my M1 Max MBP and M1 Ultra Studio, but it also spikes (on my machines) at up to 3000% and causes pops regardless.A lot of people don't know how to read CPU percent in Activity Monitor (if that's what you're using). CPU% shown in Activity Monitor is total across all cores. So for the sake of argument, if you have 10 cores and Activity Monitor shows 20%, that equates to 2% per core. A 10 core system could theoretically show a CPU% of 1000 (10 x 100%). So when you see 20% in Activity Monitor, it's 20 of 1000 (in this example). In other words, nearly nothing.
