    In modern computing, should dormant cores in multi-core processors be activated? What benefits could this bring for software performance in applications that use parallel processing? Conversely, how might it affect energy consumption and heat generation in computers?

    What criteria should developers consider when deciding to activate dormant cores? How can advancements in power management technologies influence this decision? What impacts could core activation have on system stability and user experience in high-performance and everyday computers?

      Are you asking this as a software developer, as an IT manager in a company or as an ordinary home user of Windows or Linux or MacOS? In the last case, tell more about the hardware of your computer and what you run on it.
