The CPU = "Central Processing Unit" will perform it's calculations at so many megahertz while at 10% utilization or at 100% utilization. The entire machine
no. it will not. all today x86 CPUs reacts on HLT command and doesn't do anything except waiting for interrupt (and saving lots of power).
is only performing at 10% of its capacity, in your statement above.
no - CPU is performing at 10% of it's capacity. entire machine (disks, network etc.) is another thing.
Actually, it's a combination of both running and waiting processes.
yes that's true. i missed this - all waiting for machine resource to be available+those which are presently calculating something.
