COre i7 980X has 6 core and 12 virtual threads...but still,the performance of it is very unpromising as softtware used to have a hard time utilizing 4 cores now they wana utilize all 6 cores?

I bet this would be a log way to go until we see a REAL performance boost of having more cores rather than having higher CPU speed

that's why the speed range stays within 2.XX GHz until 3.XX GHz ..coz any stock speed beyond that and they'll have problems with keeping the power consumption down huhu
