if modern programs can eat gigabytes of RAM easily, why can't the same be said for CPU cores? i thought the ps4/xb1 generation (with anemic jaguar units) would've solved that issue.

>>110122457>why can't the same be said for CPU cores?You need to design programs quite specially to effectively use lots of cores. Most programmers have no idea how to do that.Even fewer know how to scale up beyond what fits inside one CPU chip. That's proper advanced programming (especially if not using MPI).The usual way of using all those cores is to run many programs at once. That's how many browsers do it (cheating like hell behind the scenes to pretend its all one program).
