[SOLVED] Boinc-Core Efficiency Benefits

[eeqmc252]

Can the new 16 and 32 core AMD processors fully utilize the cores for BOINC computing? A recent article mentioned that games and other common applications do not proportionally benefit from higher core counts.

I didn't feel like going through all 11 pages of this thread -- https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=83457 But there is plenty of discussion of the high thread hosts for distributed computing. Generally for a CPU limited problem, you would DISABLE hyperthreading since you have already saturated the hardware with just the physical cores.
