I always understood it "how many CPU cores would I need so that they all run at 100%"

E.g. if I have 1 core and utilization is 3 then if I had 3 cores they would run exactly at 100%

The problem (or really, nuance) comes when you try to define what "run exactly at 100%" means.

		Yeah, I love the expression the "Flaw of the Averages". Depends on what you're counting, among other things. (Not to mention when you took the samples being averaged).
