There is definitely room to improve how often and efficiently desktop software utilizes more cores, but I don't expect it will be common that ~32 cores gets you much gain over ~8. But when you do have a workload that can benefit, like if you know GCC will compile a huge c++ project linearly faster up to 32 cores, then it is VERY welcome!
- rbanffy 8y agoIf you have cores to spare, you can do incremental compilation every time you save a file. You can also do a lot of speculative work that may be thrown away but, in case it's needed, it's already done. There is no such thing as too many cores ;-)
