The Linux kernel has been accidentally hardcoded to a maximum of 8 cores for nearly 20 years (thehftguy.com)

I’m not smart enough to verify the accuracy of this claim, nor exactly what the implications are, but it seems like it might improve performance if fixed.

Title bullshit, we have multicore machine for years, I can guarantee you this had about no impact else people running Xeon or Threadripper would have saw it at first try 15 years ago.

This looks like to have an impact on the scheduler but not on how many cores are used.
