Most people? If a given application isn't good at multithreading/multicore, it doesn't stop the OS from scheduling other applications on other cores, freeing up cycles. I think most people have multiple processes running at a time on their machines. Even just looking at software devs, the plugins serving your code editor probably run in their own processes.
- colinmhayes 5y ago> Most people? Absolutely not. Take a look at your CPU usage right now. Pretty much all background tasks can be done on a core or two. I only have 8 cores, and the only time they're all facing high load is when I'm compiling code. Basically the M1 ultra is only useful for professional graphics/video editors, and developers compiling large codebases or training ml models.
