Intel 28-Core CPU

| I would preffer a 128 core 2GHz cpu rather than this 28 core 5Ghz. If that existed of course.
The way I use a computer is that I have many things going on at the same time. A lot of programs at the same time, countless tabs, many vm-s running for testing and experimenting, a vpn tunnel to connect to a friend, irc active, am lazy to run apache only when needed so I let it idle all the time, etc etc.
The more cores in such a case, the better. Can never be too many of them.
| And lower frequency means less complexity and heating related troubles for the cpu, lower power consumption, longer life and better stability in the overall for all the system as it affects the board as well with the frequency scalers up and down; computer peripherics interface the board only.
So yea, give me that other processor when?

The issue is, that the software must be designed to make use of multiple cores. This is hard to achieve dynamically to avoid compatibility issues on systems with lower cpu-core count.

| If you had enough money to buy one of these, what reason would you use to justify it. I mean really, unless it's for intensive professional use, what are you going to use a 28-core, 5GHz CPU for that something lower couldn't do?
