When is i9 or threadripper useful?

When is i9 or threadripper useful?
For what sort of applications?

everything that uses multiple threads

Anything that uses lots of threads, like CPU based rendering.

EXTREME MEGATASKING

basically anything multithreaded

Are they at all better for everyday shit, say compared to your average i5 or R5?

3D rendering
VFX
Encoding video
Advanced image compositing
Compiling code
Running simulations
Virtual machines
Hosting a game server
And being able to do any combination of the above with your daily tasks.
No creative professional ever runs just one high-end program at a time, if you have Adobe Premiere open, chances are you also have a bunch of other stuff like After Effects open as well, or maybe DaVinci Resolve, or Nuke and so on. If you're in 3D it's not just Max/Maya, it's also ZBrush, Substance, Marmoset or Unreal.

it's super useful heating your home

are they better for watching 50 tabs of porn at once?

when you run a server farm.

on a consumer basis never.

generally speaking no.

>When are CPUs with lots of threads useful?
When applications both utilize and support many threads. This is only common in professional software like what is listed here: For the consumer/enthusiast level, 8 cores and 16 threads is the absolute maximum one needs. Even that is overkill except in specific situations.

why not? even their clock speed is about the same
what makes those high end processors bad for everyday shit?

True dat

Can it handle google chrome?

They aren't bad for everyday shit. Just not better than cheaper mainstream shit. Most things normies do either don't need the extra power or cant utilise that many treads.

muh size efficiency

HAHAHAHAHA

Intel shills on suicide watch!

All OS's these days are capable of using multiple processors. Most applications are multithreaded. Additionally people run virtual machines.

Intel shills are really fucking stupid, is OP a Pajeet?

How many threads are running after you boot up Linux or Windows?

That's right, hundreds.

yes user I'm sure some random service host process requires a full physical core to run

depends on the process and what it's doing

but for an average user it still creates a lighter OS burden for when they fire up their applications

btw have you seen how heavy a modern web site is these days?
