Fusion freezes but does not use all resources
"A core" refers to hardware, whereas a thread is a software construct. I provided a link so you don't have to refer to questionable resources.
I have used many CAD software professionally over a span of 3 decades. I've programmed in computer graphics rendering software including a mandelbrot algorithm and a Bresenham algorithm in x86 assembler.
I currently use mostly Fusion 360 and ZW3D. I've used Solid Works since 1998. Currently on my machine are Fusion 360, SolidWorks 2017, Autodesk Inventor, and ZW3D. I've worked with Alibre design for a number of years as well but don't use it anymore.
Based on that experience I can say that there are areas where Fusion 360 is slower and some, where it is faster.
If you have to refer to Google, that means you clearly don't have enough 1st hand experience and as such for me this conversation is over!
Can you share a design where that freezing occurs?
In my not insignificant professional experience in CAD and 3D modeling, the vast majority of performance problems are the result of less than ideal workflows rather than hardware limitations.
Comparing Blender with Fusion or any other CAD software is mostly nonsense.

Most users of fusion360 are users who are not allowed to share their drawings with third parties, and certainly not with people who do not even work for autodesk.
I don't think as a general statement that is true. At least not based on the last 10 years her on the forum and thousands of designs I have looked at over that period of time!
There certainly are people that cannot share their designs due to NDA's. That's fair, and isn't a problem. But obviously that makes it difficult to help. I would also assess that due to Fusion's low price point is accessible to a wide range of users, including those that accept NDA work, but don't nearly have the knowledge or skill set to help themselves in case there are problems. However, if you do NDA work, that is a necessity.
I usually also cannot share the models I work on either in my day job, or the freelance work I do occasionally.

Fusion360 does have problems with performance. Just look at it when you want to generate a 2D drawing.
Yep, I also find drawing creation slow and unpleasant to work with, particularly for designs that have a lot of detail. Fortunately I don't have to do that a lot.
Most users that come to the forum and complain about performance have problems with modeling performance.

But I understand that sometimes you can go completely crazy with Fusion360 freezes, and especially when you hear from others (Trippy) that they have no problems with the performance of fusion360 and that it would be due to your workflow.
Freezing can have a number of causes. I do experience this when surface modeling more challenging geometry, but would not characterize this per se as a performance problem.
I usually don't experience freezing during "normal" modeling or when using patterns, except when they are very large.
I would also appreciate it if you would refrain from twisting my words to suit your argument! My workflows also aren't always ideal, but I experiment quite a it to see what works and what doesn't. If there's an area that i feel can use improvements, I report it and provide data, e.g. a model a workflow description and often a screencast.
That's all I am asking for when a user reports performance problems. If you can share the design, please do so.
I you cant t, then please completely lose you s**t when I am asking for a model!

what doesn'tsays enough.
And, again, you reinterpret my words 😕
Experimentation with different workflows is the best way to find the limitations of the tool you are using. I don't do that because I run constantly into performance problems. I do that to learn, and often enough I find the limitation is my own understanding. Then I study the subject and ask questions until I have found a solution.
The end result of that is that I rarely run into the problems other people report 😉
If you don't experiment and if you don't fail at least occasionally you don't learn!

Please don't. Clearly, you are only accepting your incredibly negative point of view. We'll have to agree to disagree.
I looked at your model and honestly don't know what more information you need.
Using sketch patterns is not a recommended workflow in any CAD application.
Many other CAD applications license the (2D only) D-Cubed sketch engine, which is very fast, so you can get away with it, but it still is not recommended. \
There are hundreds of threads on this forum where we explain this.
If you extrude one hole and thed. use a feature pattern, it will be faster. I might have time to demonstrate later.
Edit: Attached is what I described
