I'm seeking an equivalent of a common Linux based process monitor, which shows a history graph for each CPU core. This can help identify programs that are effectively using all the cores (here, Google Chrome). Is there a way to get Apple system monitor to do this?

I don't know of anything with that kind of detail, but Apple's own Activity Monitor [Applications/Utilities] can show a basic history graph per core. Cmd ⌘ 3 to initiate.
System shows in red, user in green, btw.
