48 cores? I still haven’t found any games, software, or applications I want that will use 4 cores fully.

It's interesting, because I've seen Linux run on clusters containing hundreds of cores. As I added cores to the job(s), they kept getting faster and faster.

The difference, of course, is that the cores were on separate machines, and separate CPUs. Each CPU had up to 4 cores.

Either redesign the CPUs memory management, or redesign the OS, I guess.
