That's not quite true:
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/conf/cassandra-env.sh#L75-L77

We'll use the min((100 * cores), (1/4 * max_heap))

> It's been found that the old twitter recommendations of 100m per core up to 800m is harmful and should no longer be used.
> Instead the formula used should be 1/3 or 1/4 max heap with a max of 2G. 1/3 or 1/4 is debatable and I'm open to suggestions. If I were to hazard a guess 1/3 is probably better for releases greater than 2.1.
