It depends on what you use to report CPU usage. Many monitoring tools stick with 100%/core, but some normalize it.

  Good point. I believe Windows' task manager reports it the way I said, while OS X's Activity Monitor reports each core up to 100%.

    In general, *nixes report 100% capacity per core, not just OS X.
