All the reasons we use computers with > 2 cores is the use-case for it.

  But most common computing applications aren't CPU-bound, they're IO bound, or in some cases GPU bound. CPUs haven't really been a bottleneck for quite a few years.

    We also multitask and use lots of software where the CPU is a bottleneck like browsers, compilers, virtualization etc.

      Unless you're running a dual core i3 from a few years ago I doubt a browser is going to bottleneck on your CPU. Virtualisation is typically IO bound.
