Gregory's Server@foone Is there a reason why you're only allowed to activate 2 of the 4 cores? Is it like a timing thing?

@thelobdegg @foone it's only built with the connections to go between the rest of the CPU and two cores, the only difference from a regular dual-core CPU is that it can choose which two cores
they could theoretically add extra of anything that's per-core and then connect all four up (and selectively disable them), but that'd be a further increase in complexity and cost (even just having the extra cores there is an increase, but presumably they think it's worth that increase)
