Edit: Geekbench say max 5.1ghz on my cpu, but running 5ghz. Looks like Geekbench is epic fail... Impossible to trust any numbers from here, it looks like.
It's nice that we have these rather cheap monster CPUs with 12-16 cores + SMT, but the reality is that the types of software that can take advantage of them in a home/office environment is very, very limited.
I actually meant this literally.
I have no idea what kind of work I could give to a 5900X to actually benefit from the 12 cores 😕
I wish AMD would offer an option for a single-die 6-8 core CPU that boosts to the max clocks technologically possible, without reserving the max boosts and best dies only to the expensive 12-16 cores.
(Something like 3300X that is not vaporware...)

Going back to the many core CPUs, in my own workflow or entertainment, I think in total I use stuff that uses all 8 cores of my 3700X for 2-3 hours per month max.
The games I play are older and indie titles, which are lightly threaded, barely using 2, maybe 4 threads.
I work with Photoshop, which is known to use very few threads (it's basically a single-threaded software)
Those 2-3 hours in which I put all 8 cores to work are two things - Archival of my stuff using 7-zip, and encoding of a short video report of what I did.
Basically, I could do just fine with just a 3300X ... but that CPU didn't exist when I switched to AM4, and neither when I bought the 3700X...
i use Cubase (with lots of plugins) (ryzen 3950x) and i use all of my cores most of the time. i get 100% scaling with db poweramp and cinebench (which doesn't scale as well) does great...keeping me from using a render farm (with Theadripper).
VM's have hit the Golden Age, as you can run a dozen (or more) and still game.

All this sounds like professional stuff. You a musician ? Get paid for that stuff ? Well then good for you, enjoy your gazillion cores !
The rest of us... well...
Good thing that stuff like 3600 or 5600 (future?) still exists and is cheap enough.

I agree. I bet many of us would buy a Ryzen 7 5850X that has the same base clock of 3.8 Ghz or maybe upped a hair along with the boost set at 4.9 or 5.0 Ghz.
