Here is an answer from MS for Windows and Multi core CPU's. From Microsoft -
Windows 10 supports a maximum of two physical CPUs, but the number
of logical processors or cores varies based on the processor
architecture. A maximum of 32 cores is supported in 32-bit
versions of Windows 8, whereas up to 256 cores are supported in
the 64-bit versions.
Can it use them? Absolutely. Will the average person take advantage of this much CPU power? Not likely.
Not at all. While games do require some CPU horsepower, GPU power is often king in gaming. I doubt any game would come close to using this much CPU (unless there was a bug) anytime in the near future. These types of CPU are more for data analytics and number crunching, not for a home consumer. One could make the argument that "more" is better, there are diminishing returns in standard use environments. There definitely are some applications that can take advantage of such a high number of cores. Video editing, 3D modeling, etc. However, that level of CPU power is not used by the average user. 12/10/2019 1:58 PM, Randy Barnett via Groups.Io wrote:
