    of load balancing..

    mm, as far as the os is concerned i could see that being something that someone could implement, but this is about apps, ofc os thread balancing is a valid debate :)

    of load balancing..

    sure, this is the way it has been, it's not been an issue until recently..but why have all these lovely cores and use them badly?! imo, this will be a part of the development of new apps..

    of load balancing..

    well, if you notice one core was practically bumping up at the top? surely if one core is at 100% that would impact on what could be achieved with properly balanced loading? why isn't it normal? why don't ALL apps multi-thread properly? this is kinda the point of this thread! if it...

    How future-proof is a quad-core?

    imho, software is what needs to catch up with hardware now.. i see so few apps correctly multi threading.. i even thought about some sort of additional layer between the os and apps that could somehow distribute thread requests to lower used cores, a sort of thread distribution service...but...
