So, why do you need to know how many cores my platform will provide if you can not judge the performance of the cores anyway?

I answered that question in the comment that you are replying to.

And it is up to the client to manage all this. You do not gain anything by knowing the clients thread count. Which is what I have been complaining about all along.

What do you mean “you do not gain anything”? It seems you are confusing GHz with parallelism. The thread count matters, regardless of cpu speed
