Switch to the Memory tab, and you’ll find similar readings, but this time for RAM. The bottom of this tab will show you the overall CPU usage with a constantly updating graph. (CPU stands for Central Processing Unit this component acts as the brains of the computer and performs most of its calculations.) You’ll see all open programs in the column on the left, along with the percentage of processor time they’re currently taking up. The first tab, CPU, shows how much processing power each running program requires. These screens are actually pretty simple to navigate. Within Activity Monitor, you’ll see a barrage of constantly changing numbers and app names, but don’t panic.
