Will Power Bi / Query support multithreading in the future?
As captioned, buying a new PC, wonder if I need a higher core count CPU for future updates. Many Thanks
Power BI already uses multiple cores. If you want to splurge, get more memory.
HI nascaline,
As lbendlin said, current power bi already enabled multiple threads feature. (e.g. parallel loading)
You can direct use these features if your device existed enough resources. For performance reasons, I'd like to suggest you use the 64-bit version instead 32-bit version. (notice: 32-bit version has 4G limit on memory resource usage)
BTW, you can also take a look at the following blog about tips and tricks to improve power bi performance:
