OK, so 8 cores. But homogeneous, either 4 or 4c but not mixed as schedulers are crappy and you end up having your slow cores in charge of your fast 25Gb LAN and be surprised it only gives you like 7Gb instead... Nightmare performance stuff like that common with Intel E-cores.

I have yet to see programs written with a multi-core approach in mind perhaps maybe except game programmers who had to suck it up with the PS3 with it's wacko PPE and SPU's or Xbox 360 with it's 3 PowerPC cores.

It is a pain to write multi-threaded app - so one browser tab = one core.

YMMV - I used to write apps with 60,000+ threads 10 years ago.
