Finally, there's a widget called Multiple Processor Monitor that can monitor both.
Why is it important? Because some applications tie themselves to a single CPU (a feature called "affinity") and drive that CPU's usage up. The widget allows me to focus on the "culprit".
BTW, to set the affinity of a process manually, open Task Manager (
ctrl+shift+esc
), switch to the processes tab, right click a process and select "Set Affinity". This would allow you to tie a specific process to a specific CPU. Affinity can, of course, be set programmatically if you're the developer.
