I think this is what is meant by NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory access). These days, the time it takes for a core to access memory, even on the same chip, can depend on where the core and memory are on the chip. So if you want threads to share memory as fast as possible you need to be able to pin them down. The downside is that running many CPU-hungry threads close together on the chip can cause overheating, causing the CPU to throttle everything back until things cool off. The CPU architecture giveth, and the CPU architecture taketh away.
