15 years ago this website was in it's prime. Before bots forced disabling of the comments, I had a dedicated core for every user to tell me how amazing I was. Before the last downgrade, I had achieved 16 threads of raw webserver power. Today I decided the 4 thread downgrade is simply not enough to handle my brand. A used $30 Intel i7-4790 was the answer, thanks to successful Intel marketing of hyperthreading. I'm now back to 8 threads of glory even though my system and memory busses are not quite up to as much glory as I'd like. The comparison benchmark reflects what Intel sold me. More threads are the same as more cores.
