[citation][nom]A Bad Day[/nom]It's silly because not many mobile software use more than four cores, nevertheless more resource-intensive software (Crysis 3, Starcraft 2, Natural Selection 2, etc) for laptops/desktops.[/citation]
Yes you are correct in which there isn't an app that will use more then 2 or 4 cores, but you have to understand that software FOLLOWS hardware and not the other way around. Why would any application/software developer make a program that will utilize an 8 core mobile processor when there ISN'T any 8 core mobile processor on the market?
Pushing hardware is NEVER silly because hardware is suppose to lead. If you have manufacturers thinking "oh 8 cores is just SILLY!" we would still be using Commodore C64.
