> The only performance that actually matters is single thread performance. Strong disagree, particularly on laptops. Having some firefox thread compile/interpret/run some javascript 500 microseconds faster is not going to change my life very much. Having four extra cores definitely will: it means i can keep more stuff open at the same time. The pain is real, particularly on laptops: i've been searching for laptops with a high-end many-core cpu but without a dedicated gpu for years, and still haven't found anything decent. I do run many virtual machines, containers, databases and stuff. The most "graphic-intensive" thing i run is the browser. Otherwise i spend most of my time in terminals and emacs.
