How long is a piece of string? : ) A lot of the time the CPU is just ticking over but on occasion (rendering an image, compiling some code, running a simulation) the CPU might be operating up to its thermal limit. of course some of these tasks can be done by a GPU (on board, connected by Thunderbolt, over the network to a render farm, or on some rented cloud) but not all. And of course some tasks can be done on on both CPUs and GPUs and the software will fully utilise any computing resources it can find.
