Chrome changed their task manager to make the CPU percentages be relative to a single core instead of relative to the total CPU power available. This makes the numbers more comparable (100% on one machine is roughly the same as 100% on another, regardless of core count) and it avoids the problem of increasingly tiny numbers. Microsoft should follow that lead.
This change means that Chrome's task manager can show CPU usage percentages that are higher than 100%, but that is fine. The percentage is simply the percentage of a logical processor that is being used and 200% means that two logical processors are being used. Simple, easy to understand and explain.
