Returns an array of objects containing information about each logical CPU core. The array will be empty if no CPU information is available, such as if the /proc file system is unavailable.
The properties included on each object include:
[
{
model: 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz',
speed: 2926,
times: {
user: 252020,

nice values are POSIX-only. On Windows, the nice values of all processors are always 0.
os.cpus().length should not be used to calculate the amount of parallelism available to an application. Use availableParallelism for this purpose.
