It depends what you mean by hard to use. If it&#x27;s an obsure architecture for which assembler, compiler, linker, the whole toolchain is not easily available, then the difficulty has nothing to do with the high core count.<p>Also I&#x27;m not sure why a simpler core (note: simple architecture not slower core) would be so slow that it would be unusable. I mean such cores are called &quot;speed demon&quot; for a reason I assume.<p>I personally would love to see 256-core 64-bit ARM-compatible becoming mainstream (by compatible I mean take the ARM instruction set and reduce it in half or a quarter).
