I had a couple of Westmere Xeons with 6 cores ffs. I had an 8 core Ivy and now have a 10 and 14c BE.
And they are celebrating 6 cores? lmfao. "So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999" comes to mind
And yeah, most enterprise software is massively threaded because servers run massively cored CPUs with low clock speeds. So you will really be missing a trick.
Well that's a blanket statement if I ever saw one. Not all workloads need 10+ cores and many AEC software would benefit from these new CPUs....for the companies not willing to run an 8700k that is.
