Adobe Premier Pro 2017 not using all four cores

Solution
your i5-6200U only has 2 cores - i'm not familiar with the AMD CPUs but according to http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-A8-Series%20A8-7650K.html , it has 4 cores

it doesn't take much of a task, rendering videos, to fully load 2 cores, Like i said above "...Other video programs will run my 4790 at 50-60% load, and on the 8 core 5960x only run it 35-45% load." Camtasio Studio is one of those "other programs" and the result when rendering the same video on the 4 core rig (using the integrated graphics processor) or on the 8 core rig with a dedicated GPU, is that render times are not appreciably faster on the 8 core rig.

Rendering the same video file on both rigs, HandBrake will fully utilitze all cores, no matter how many...
video software vary on their core "appetite" - if you download HandBrake (it's free) you'll find it wants all the cores it can get, and will use them to 97-100%, whether 4 core like on my 4790 rig, or on this rig with 8 cores. Other video programs will run my 4790 at 50-60% load, and on the 8 core 5960x only run it 35-45% load

it all depends on the software

I have a laptop which has the Core i5-6200U. I know they are not apples to apples conparison but i am just curious on why my i5 is pushed to 100% on all cores while the A8-7650k has "this" sort of CPU Usage approach on Adobe Premier

Rendering the same video file on both rigs, HandBrake will fully utilitze all cores, no matter how many cores - which results in a nearly 50% faster rendering time. Which is why i prefer HandBrake
