most applications are only nominally multi-threaded they have a primary thread and the ability to shift work off it for better responsiveness and the ability to repaint while waiting for the network but basically everything is happening sequentially and often they do not have those two things in practice

the other cores are for the hundred daemons running in the background

the stuff that could be done in parallel could already be done in parallel even without bringing a billion cores onto the same die, a lot of stuff cannot be done in parallel (most stuff in fact, in a theoretically sound but practically useless statement), and then only peak single-thread performance matters, and intel remains the only game in town there it is somewhat interesting to ponder the end-game for single-thread peak performance, since it will never stop mattering, but improving it further appears difficult in all directions

Just put all 28 500MHz cores on your die in series and treat them as a single 14 GHz core. There I just saved AMD

in the embedded world Intel has always been a joke. they don't understand their customers and they don't know how to provide service as a vendor. it's about time they shut down that stupid effort because their management was clearly not committed to it.

My dad was on one of like only 10 validation teams for the embedded department back in 2004. Even back then they were making huge cuts to the department because they had very few clients.

what's the word on intel selling their strongarm stuff to marvell a few years ago? seems like that was a shortsighted fuckup but then again what the hell do i know, the only involvement i have in the cpu business is that every few years i might buy a new one for my computer (maybe)
