Don't worry, 20 year back most people had no clue how to use the second core. They believed in GHz and when it became obvious the theoretical limit is close thought that's the end of evolution.
- Jtsummers 2y agoPeople knew how to use the second core 20 years ago, SMP machines had been around for decades by that point. For the most part, the second core was taken care of by the OS which already had support for those SMP systems, and using multithreading or multiprocessing workloads.
