(..) ArchiCAD will not be a fully multi-threaded application at any time soon. This is partly because re-writing the ArchiCAD code to support multi-threading is a huge task, and there are areas where it would not cause a dramatic performance increase. Graphisoft will focus on the areas where multi-threading brings the most benefit.thus you don't need octocore (or even quadro) mac pro "at any time soon", because it's a big job for them. (if i think that ac on 8 cores would use 1/8 of the resources available- ).
Transferring a 32-bit application to 64-bit requires reprogramming even the most basic functions in the software, therefore the change to 64-bit in business softwares will happen at a much slower pace than the rapid change from 32-bit processors to 64-bit processors in the Personal Computer (PC) industry.so mainly they are basing the answer once again on excuse, that it requres recoding ac + on a bad market practise "aww, the other business software developers are also slow on this". sorry, but that doesn't apply to other apps i use, ie, c4d, maxwell. yes, they are a different profile, but- whatever harware resources i give them- it's been effectivelly used. and that's the reason they REALLY are top software solutions. and the argument that archicad has 100x more lines of code can't be an argument.

Yes, you will see 12 take full advantage of all cores at certain peak periods.

I think a better indicator of usage would the number of projects completed using X software package. What is a bigger concern IMO is the massive marketing ability of Autodesk. It's not unlike the hold Microsoft has on, say word processing. OpenOffice is an interesting idea - giving away software for free. I wonder if Nemetschek has considered a similar strategy for cutting Autodesk off at the knees. Maybe they should have a free version and a pay version, not unlike Sketchup and the Pro version.
Its very simple when you get a floppy drive free with your newly brought 8X Super Sensitive Multi Layer DVD RW; you can not count it as increase in Floppy Users.
Can you ??

I think ! correct me if i am wrong.
