Reminds me of Brendan Gregg's "CPU Utilization is Wrong" but this blog fails to discuss that blog's key point that CPU utilization is a measure of whether or not the CPU is busy, including whether the CPU is waiting [0]. That blog also explains that the IPC (instructions per cycle) metric actually measures useful work hidden within that busy state.

What's up with Brendans and CPU utilisation concerns, any Brendan to shine some light ?

I'd love to explain, but you'd need to change your name to Brendan first.
