Core count is becoming more and more bullshit. If I get performance X using 1 core and Y using all cores, then true core count is Y / X, regardless of what advertised CPU count the manufacturer may dream.
Geekbench scores:
-----------------
Intel Core i7-8086K: 6288 single core, 29927 multicore, asvertised cores: 6, real cores: 4.75, bullshit factor (advertised/real): 125%. Decent.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X: 5838 single core, 68457 multicore, advertised cores: 32, real cores: 11.7, bullshit factor: 270%. Ridiculous.
