Meaning of values in CPU tab of resource monitor on windows 8.1

enter image description here

(Sorry for non english character in picture. Each column is thread/CPU/average CPU)

When I open CPU tab in resource monitor on Window 8.1, I see above values. What's the difference between CPU and average CPU?

At first, I thought average CPU means avaerag usage per core but I have 4 cores so the value should be CPU=4*avg. CPU which is not.

Please let me know the meaning of CPU and average CPU values.

CPU. Current percent of CPU consumption by the process, or how much of the system's processing power is being devoted to this specific process.

Average CPU. This is average CPU consumption by the process over the past 60 seconds. This gives you a real-time look at what's happening on the system right now and for the past minute.
