I wish I could see a statistic on the number of people that would have bought Win 10 Home to run on their 64 core machine if only it had support for 64 cores!

- 0xfaded 7y agoBuy a 64-core processor and futureproof against the coming 64-core Windows
- tinco 7y agoIt's going to happen soon. AmD's high end consumer model is already very close to that number. When these become commonplace, say in 8 years, someone might find something fun or productive to do with 64 cores, and it's gonna suck if your OS is the bottleneck.
- rubber_duck 7y ago> When these become commonplace, say in 8 years Someone is going to run an OS from 2020 on a brand new machine in an age where 64 threads is common place ? These things get segmented according to market - home is tailored to suit commonplace.
- AlfeG 7y agoYou mean all those people still running Windows 7 in 2020?
- rubber_duck 7y agoOn modern computers ?
- Yizahi 7y agoBy the time it happens MS will support it in Home edition. I remember that Win2000 for example supported something like 2 or 4 CPUs in standard edition and you had to buy server editions or even datacenter edition for more.
