Does it resemble wasted processing power? Or does it affect how programs run? The low idle resource consumption of an OS usually stays minimal, so it probably doesn’t matter.

No, those numbers wouldn't be found there.

Windows uses Task Manager, Resource Manager, and Performance Monitor. macOS shows Activity Monitor or top.

There are several comparisons to consider. The choice often hinges on the specific use case and software. For instance, Blender renders CPU graphics more quickly on OS X, while Adobe Suite performs slightly better on Windows. Generally, the variation is minimal and usually goes unnoticed. Choose the operating system with the interface you prefer or that suits your workflow, as performance differences tend to be modest.

macOS runs more smoothly for me. Windows Task Manager sometimes hides processes, showing high CPU usage while the top entry stays near zero. In Activity Monitor on macOS, this issue doesn’t occur. You can also display the dock icon as a usage graph, which is really helpful.

I presented the data using four graphs. If you try that, you’ll only see one upright bar.

It was similar by default for me. Just go to View > Dock Icon.

When I display CPU usage, it shows a single bar. With CPU history, only one bar appears instead of four.

The CPU you're using appears to combine multiple threads into a single one, possibly due to merging capabilities.
