The first screen shot below shows only 4 of the possible 8 CPU threads being utilised while running NinjaTrader, TWS (or your preferred trading platform) and a web browser.
The next screen shot shows most threads at work once additional applications such as screen recording software and image editing software are being used. The image below illustrates how the extra threads "spread the work load" so the CPU can operate well within its capabilities, ensuring performance isn't compromised.
In summary, most applications used for trading only maximise four cores. However, if recording and editing your live screen images or screen recordings, it's beneficial to have a CPU capable of efficiently running "multi-threaded" applications.
See this post for details of the CPU used in the examples above.
