I can't imagine working with single core, even though most apps are not multi
threaded , running multiple apps, or even vm's are common.

The bigest improvement will be multi threading apps. I built a new box, lots of
resources, most things I do take relative amounts of time because they are bound
to one cpu.

AFAIKT, Debian's repositories support deprecating 32 bit, of course Debian doesn't
seem to care much for third party software.
