2. Idle (CPU) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(CPU)

   Idle is a state that a computer processor is in when it is not being used by any program. Every program or task that runs on a computer system occupies a certain amount of processing time on the CPU. If the CPU has completed all tasks it is idle. Modern processors use idle time to save power.

3. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

   In many applications, the CPU and other components are idle much of the time, so idle power contributes significantly to overall system power usage. When the CPU uses power management features to reduce energy use, other components, such as the motherboard and chipset, take up a larger proportion of the computer's energy.

   A good temperature for your desktop computer's CPU is around 120℉ when idle, and under 175℉ when under stress.

5. Computer performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_performance

   In computing, computer performance is the amount of useful work accomplished by a computer system. Outside of specific contexts, computer performance is estimated in terms of accuracy, efficiency and speed of executing computer program instructions. When it comes to high computer performance, one or more of the following factors might be involved:

7. System Idle Process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Idle_Process

   Because of the idle process's function, its CPU time measurement (visible through, for example, Windows Task Manager) may make it appear to users that the idle process is monopolizing the CPU. However, the idle process does not use up computer resources (even when stated to be running at a high percent). Its CPU time "usage" is a measure of how ...

8. I/O bound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I/O_bound

   With faster computation speed being the primary goal of new computer designs and components such as the CPU and memory being expensive, there is a strong imperative to avoid I/O bound states and eliminating them can yield a more economic improvement in performance than upgrading the CPU or memory. As CPU gets faster, processes tend to get more ...
