Intel Embedded Xeon Processor - Using a single core 100% & not at all using other cores

Is there any issue, if I use a single core with 100% load for continuous 7 - 8 days, by not at all using other cores. 

Eg. Consider 12 core Intel Xeon Embedded Processor D-1559. I will load Core 1 with 100% CPU load and won't use 11 cores. I may use Linux isolcpus method for this testing.

Hello, @Jerin_Paulose:

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

Intel CPUs are designed to run safely at 100% CPU utilization. However, you’ll want to avoid these situations whenever they cause perceptible slowness. You can confirm this information and more details on the following website:
