This is a very outdated complaint, we are using all cores these days, just not on all systems. Backend software is concurrent & distributed, and although utilization is lower than we’d like, the extra cores are not going to waste.
However, if you put this in a machine you use for playing games or checking Facebook then you might think that it’s a waste, and you’d be right. There is plenty of software out there which is still single-threaded, but it’s not dominating our utilization.
- mrguyorama 7y agoHonestly with the way chrome and firefox behave nowadays, even grandma looking at facebook benefits from multiple cores
- capableweb 7y agoNot really, any window/tab that is not in focus gets heavily throttled by the browser, gradma is probably not running any extensions and single websites are still single threaded for most parts (more and more are adding web workers for various parts though)
- NullPrefix 7y ago>not running any extensions and single websites are still single threaded for most parts Such a shame that all that JS botnet is still single threaded, isn't it ?
