Press '1' on your keyboard to see per-CPU utilization in the standard 
'top' application.

Note that "load" is not a measure of CPU utilization.  Load is simply 
the average number of processes in a non-sleeping state over a given 
period of time, usually 1, 5, and 15 minutes.  A process counts toward 
load if it is running (using CPU) or in an IO call (usually to disk or 
network), or in another syscall.  Load applies to a host as a whole. 
There is no such thing as per-cpu load.
