Hey August!
What do you mean by "16 penguin"?
In this case it means the number of cores (8) along with the number of threads per core (2).  2 penguins times 8 penguins equal 16 penguins as shown below.
This reply completes the local fidonet scene here.  I've posted from the Europoint, the Brain, my so-called workstation, and now the epyc server.

They are all in sync for now.  I seriously doubt it will stay this way for too long other than the Europoint and Brain.  They require stability given their tasks looking after dumbass smartphones.  :::snicker:::
Life is good,
