How many cores is enough?

>>61193095
4 cores my goy.

>>61193095
liek, a billion.

>>61193095
128 cores / 256 threads

>>61193095
6 for now. That's why 1600 sells like fucking hotcakes, this is better than A64 launch.
Q2 revenue will be nice to see.

one sufficiently powerful core is all you need

>>61193127
What do you need 2 cores for, goy?

>>61193095
6 is my answer

Test

32. I compile gentoo all day.

>>61193169
Why do you need an entire core to yourself goy? Remember the six gorillion!

>>61193095
4. Any more is just a stupid meme.

>>61193214
I'd kill for 1S EBYN system right now.

What do you need a microcontroller for?

There's no reason you need pencil and paper and a pocket calculator.

Calculating in your head is just going too far.

Who needs math?

2, max 4, anything above is just placebo

>>61193095
one

>>61193240
>>61193269
Well said goys

>>61193095
the number of replies this thread will get.

>>61193095
One, if you can run it at 1488 zettahertz

>>61193095
Depends.
Sequential programming? One core.
Operative system? 4 cores/8 threads is good enough.
CGI, genetic algorithms and machine learning? Lots of them.

>>61193095
doesn't matter, you are i/o limited

>>61193095
Apple, Intel, Earth, Marine.
4

>>61193283
600?

>>61193095
256 should be enough for the next 8 years

Well, I have no issue with my old Core 2 Quad

>>61193095
Six cores is perfect, eight is fine if you use multi-media stuff but for those that don't six will carry you pretty far into the future.

2 unless muh gaymes

>>61193095

4096 until Linux pushes the limit further

>>61193998
Is that really the highest theoretical limit? What about on Windows?

>>61193162
>>61193173
This. I have 8 and It's overkill, but 4 doesn't cut it for everything I want to do.

>>61194667
I think it's the maximum supported by the kernel, but I don't think there's currently a hardware platform on earth that can support that.
There's no real theoretical limit, but that depends on how you can define a CPU core.

OVER 9000!

>>61193163
Enjoy all the stuttering

>>61194970
>will be obsolete within a year or two
then why am i still using a 5 year old processor

>ITT BUNCH OF CORELETS
HAHAHAHHAHAHAAH PUSSIES

>>61194970
needs more entries between 10c and 24c, thanks to Threadraper being a thing and i9s having a bajillion binnings.

>>61193095
How many total threads is your system running right now?
You need exactly half of that.

>>61193214
Compilation can't be parallelised faggot

>>61198701
Wow, listen to this faggot.

>>61198863
Seriously show me one instance of a compiler working in parallel, and I'll show you some nasty Buttsekhs pon

>>61193095
4+HT
more than that is only justified in servers.

>>61193095
I am using right now 4 cores but is a little slow for me maybe 8 cores is overkill but i dont know

>>61198936
There is a 6 core middle ground anon. It's called the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 and 1600X.
There's also a 6 core i7 Skylake X chip, but then you have to buy a $300 X299 motherboard.

>>61198963
Bait

>8
FX8350
Its just fine.
Come at me, bro.

>>61199138
no. It's truth.

>>61198913
>t. Jewlel shill

4 to 8
cores

depends on what you do
but no less than 8 threads

>>61198882
The Go compiler.

>>61197017
Because the picture wasn't made 5 years ago you fucking retard. 4c4t wasn't on the way out 5 years ago, but it is now.

>>61193328
this
What all of the retads dont realize, most cores are idle for the most of the time because of the io bottleneck

how long until 1,024 cores?

One.
>>61197008
Systems in 70s and 80s didnt really stutter. And nowadays hardware is very powerful

>>61199425
what i/o?
