"Any number of cores" != "Fastest possible core design"
I also compile large, multi-compilation-unit C++ programs, and it's much, much better to have a 24 or 32 threads clocked at 2 GHZ than 8 threads clocked at 5 GHz.
The parent comment was talking about fast individual core designs, which are genuinely useful for gaming, and can't be approximated by adding more cores.
