Explain CPU usage?

WOW is using over 100% of CPU and just curious and want an explanation as to how it's possible. Should I be concerned, is it harmless, how and why does it make sense? Reference using a 2019 MacBook Pro 6-Core Intel I7.

You have more than 1 CPU core processor..


for example i9 has 8 cores— this is hybrid architecture with eight Performance-cores (P-core) and 16 Efficient-cores (E-core).
