Multi-core vs Single-core Performance
The cluster debates the benefits and limitations of multi-core processors compared to single-core speed, focusing on real-world utilization, efficiency, responsiveness, and software scaling.

You can't take advantage of the hardware improvements if you're not using all cores.
You don't want to use all your cores to run things faster?
Doesn't this miss differences between CPUs in their per-core efficiency?
Unless you have multiple cores.
For single-core performance, yes. Anything that can make use of multiple cores, no
Surely one per core is near optimal?
this is incomplete and then bullshit, it's comparing a single-core with a multicore running a single-threaded process.
What does that have to do with performance under multiple processors / cores?
Most real world usages don’t max out all cores all the time.
Think of the single-core performance!
