Early Windows 8 Beta Builds Dogfooded, New Post-8102 Feature Confirmed - Softpedia
New features are planned for introduction into Windows 8 Beta, and Microsoft offered a glimpse of an enhancement testers can expect in the next major public development milestone.
The new Task Manager will sport new capabilities in Windows 8 Beta compared to the Developer Preview release, streamlining management of in excess of 64 logical processors, according to Ryan Haveson, a group program manager on the User Experience team.
Even as it released Windows 8 Build 8102 Milestone 3 (M3) Developer Preview to early adopters, Microsoft was hammering away at Builds of the operating system leading up to the first Beta.

Colonel Travis, it's a "heat map." Supposedly much easier to follow than the old method of a bunch of tiny squiggly lines in each processor snip window.
It will tell you which processors are being used the most, at a glance, and aid in any necessary troubleshooting you might have to perform.

Supposedly being the key word
It's a great function. At least the overall usage is there. It'll take a bit of getting used to.

Its probably an error and the PC has 1GB of ram, not 1TB xD It is unreleased experimental stuff we're talking about.

I don't think it is an error since it is using a very small amount of the installed RAM and also because these days the only devices with 1GB of RAM are tablets and smartphones...

Even high end servers don't need 1tb of ram, and it could be a netbook.
