You are replacing your current gaming PC which has an Intel Core i7 Extreme with four processor cores with a new PC that contains an AMD Ryzen Threadripper with 12 processor cores. Your favourite game has 46% of code that is inherently serial. Theoretically, what will the maximum speedup be if you only consider the change from four processor cores to twelve processors cores (ignore any speedup obtained due to the newer CPU architecture etc.)? Show all calculations and intermediate steps. Round all your results to three decimal places.
