Can Warframe utilize a 8 core 16 thread CPU?

Since I haven't found any answers related to this...

How much cores can Warframe utilize?

All cores should end up utilized to some extent, but one or two threads will be utilized far more than others - bottlenecking effectively.

Hyperthreading is a meme that doesn't typically provide real-world performance increases.... while also iirc opening up one of the many spectre-esque timing attacks that were found this year. Low priority on disabling it yourself, since it's really more of a concern for sysadmin types, but yeah.

Regardless, even if Warframe isn't using the extra cores itself, the rest of your system will be, which will improve performance on Warframe as it'll have to spend less time waiting for a "turn". Upping the core count will (almost) never not improve over-all system performance (so long as each core has sufficient cache).
