Hi, Adam.
Gnome System Monitor by default does not divide CPU usage by the number
of cores available - In your case, it was fully utilizing the equivalent
of more than one core.
This could have been one full core and some of another, or just part of
each core.
To change this to show a more 'Windows-like' number, you can go to Edit
-> Preferences -> Processes -> Divide CPU usage by CPU count.
Thanks for reporting this anyway :)

Title:
System monitor showing inaccurate CPU%
Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
My system was bogged down by an error in the display manager, but when
I checked the system monitor, it showed Dropbox taking >100% of the
CPU (screen attached). It was not Dropbox causing the utilization and
the values showing were impossible.
