Could you build this?
Partial Given the name 'cpum' (likely CPU monitor/manager), a basic system monitoring dashboard is easily vibe-coded, but real-time kernel-level hardware telemetry and core management requires low-level system APIs.
What it would actually take: A performant CPU manager or monitor requires low-level systems programming in Rust, C, or Go using platform-specific APIs: reading `/proc` and `/sys` or interacting with MSRs (Model-Specific Registers) and `cpufreq` on Linux, or Windows Performance Counters / NT APIs on Windows. It requires careful low-overhead background polling and kernel interaction so that the profiling tool itself does not distort CPU utilization metrics.
