Anyone is using 64 cores besides Linus :) I'm much more excited for 7900x on 12 cores rather than 64 cores. But I understand the limited amount of people that needs this power on desktop can also be excited.

If I'm not lighting up my Windows Task Manager, what was even the point of making money?

I could use an almost indefinite number of cores for fuzzing and compiling. Currently I have to limit my fuzzing runs to 12 cores because the 3 year old AMD machine can't handle more without impacting other development work.

It would be handy for people that use gentoo :)

It seems super easy for someone to fake these identifiers sent back to projects like Folding@Home...

People might do it just for fun, or maybe to manipulate the share price (make performance better or worse than expected), or maybe even for marketing.
