Is my processor "bottlenecking"?

Im sure how to tell if my CPU is bottlenecked or not.

-=-=-=-= LAPTOP =-=-=-=-
HP ENVY M6
CPU: AMD A10-4600m Quad Core @ 2.30GHz
[Integrated Graphics] 7660g
6GB Dual-Channel RAM DDR3

This is what my cpu looks like while running any game from Battlefield 3 on low to COD: WAW on high

It drops in fps from 60 to mid 20's and goes back up every 1-2 minutes and it lasts for about 20 ish seconds.

I've had it for 2 1/2 years now and its just now been acting up for the past 3 weeks...

Your cpu is not bottlenecking anything, the problem here is that is running something that is not capable of doing.

This is some info about that.
