Currently, for displaying CPU usage, MenuMeters can show either [all cores (incl. hyperthreaded)], [all physical cores], [the average of all cores], [the sum of all cores], or [all cores sorted]. This works great for traditional (e.g., Intel) processors, where all the cores are equivalent. But this doesn't quite make sense for the new M1 / Apple Silicon processors, which feature two different types of cores: Efficiency and Performance cores.
I was wondering if the following two features could be implemented:
when displaying the CPU usage percentage of [all cores], an option to color-code the efficiency cores one color, and an option to color-code the performance cores another color
display the average usage of the efficiency cores AND the average usage of the performance cores, separately. Since the cores have different purposes, it doesn't make sense to take the average of a bunch of different types cores. Like, you wouldn't average the CPU cores and GPU cores together, since they're doing totally different things.
If you could implement this feature it would immensely improve this software, and I would be extremely grateful. Thanks
