Shouldn&amp;#x27;t &amp;quot;Total Time&amp;quot; remain constant-ish until the number of threads exceed the number of cores? Why does time increase linearly with the number of threads on a multi-core system? Or is &amp;quot;Total Time&amp;quot; here &amp;quot;CPU Time&amp;quot; and not wall clock time?</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>What has changed in CPU cores in M3 chips?</title><url>https://eclecticlight.co/2023/11/22/what-has-changed-in-cpu-cores-in-m3-chips/</url></story>
