There are many apps and plugins available for macOS that can help you display the CPU and Memory usage details on the Apple Menu Bar, one of them is iGlance: https://github.com/iglance/iGlance
iGlance is a system monitor that displays current stats about your Mac on the menu bar. This tool is very customizable and you can enable or disable what you want to see on the menu bar based on your needs.
Features as listed on their Github page:
- Display CPU utilization as a graph

iGlance can be easily installed using brew package installer.
