For a ‘normal’ end-user desktop/laptop (not a server) I think you’d hit diminishing returns quickly after about 8 threads. If we’re tlaking long term growth we’d want e.g. a 128 core CPU (possibly only a few more years from today) to still be an improvement for the common usecase compared to the previous 64 core generation. Also for the billions of computers around the most common application is probably a web browser, not a web server.
