Windows 7 was designed to work with today’s multi-core processors. All 32-bit versions of Windows 7 can support up to 32 processor cores, while 64‑bit versions can support up to 256 processor cores.
Is there a limit to how many cores a CPU can have?
Core count goes up to even dozens, and for specialized chips over 10,000, and in supercomputers (i.e. clusters of chips) the count can go over 10 million. The improvement in performance gained by the use of a multi-core processor depends very much on the software algorithms used and their implementation.
