not only that, but modern CPUs aren't even deterministic in how they run an instruction. the result of any particular instruction is deterministic, but the location of the silicon and the amount of silicon used to complete the instruction is not deterministic anymore.

CPU Usage measured in percentage doesn't make sense on any CPU with modern performance features like speculative execution and branch prediction.
