I said something similar to the above, but with two important differences: I said hardware “threads,” not only hardware “cores” – it was about the amount of hardware parallelism available on a mainstream system. Longer answer follows: Here’s the main part from article, “Design for Manycore Systems” (August 11, 2009).

In leaner years (2012-2015), a single Fall release was all we'd get. This lack of transparency is by design and provides Apple deniability while simultaneously setting low expectations, making them easier to exceed. Two releases per year meant that, for a decade, progress on WebKit bugs was a roulette that developers lost by default.
