    I still remember when we started doing data science in school and I was held back by my CPU’s lack of enterprise remote management capabilities. If only I had a vPro-enabled CPU back then!

    I also got an F in eSports class that year but that was for unrelated reasons.

    (Just how much coke did Intel’s marketing department do to come up with this presentation?)

      Can use? Yes, some can. Need? No, plus, 10yo+ games freak out with too many cores, such as Prototype 2

      A lot of games have fully multithreaded components (for physics or navigation for example). So they can use any amount of cores. Its pretty rare to see a game max out all cores on such a system since they are usually limited by something else first.

    More interesting is that people stop using productivity tools and video conferencing at 15. Someone should tell my boss.

      I see your point, but no need to use the word retarded when there are better words, like imbeciles.

        Agreed, we really should stop normalizing using words incorrectly, especially in cases like this. That specific word choice has no unique benefit to conveying the message, and can do a lot to devalue it.
