When Windows reports processor usage and you see 100%, you assume the processor is at 'full load'. But is this full load equal to the full load of another program which performs a different task while still consuming 100% CPU according to Windows?

Is the heat energy a processor produces dependent on the tasks it performs? Even when it's performing such a task at its full potential?

I ask this simply because my 'full load' temperature seems to change depending on what program is providing the load.

ATITool vs Folding
Both report 100% processor usage.

I expected using ATITool would report higher temperatures because it loads the GPU also. But I had the opposite affect.
 
The reson the full load temps of one program vs. another differ is that they may put full load on different parts of the cpu (i.e. FPU, Cache..)
 
I don' t know about all that but I would just use one program for benching purposes ... prime95 etc.
