More cores is great, but ...
Ludovit 3rd Sep 2010
... as you stated, most apps can't take advantage of two cores, let alone 8.

What would be most beneficial at this point is some user manageable software that safely and reliably tells an app what core to use when it starts up ... and if the app if multi core capable, what cores.

You can currently do that with Windows Task manager, but you need to do it every time you restart. I know that Windows does determine to some point what core is used, but it's really not that well managed.
