You just said "Multi threaded FTW" and you're wondering why I'd want a Threadripper beast of a machine? TR is the ultimate multi-threader. Ideally I can save some floor space in my house because I have too many systems as it is already, and by being able to conjoin everything into one system instead of having to have two different systems, it would be a lot easier for me (and save space etc.).
so there is little difference between 4.1 and 3.95 - the bottom line is that games DO NOT like ryzen's cache structure... I get perf all over the place but that is just me - i haven't seen it in many reviews.
As far as multithreading - that is sometimes a lie a lie; games stream textures from the HDD, and they also use your memory throughput ALOT i.e. ryzen is starved for memory. Trust me - while gaming you will feel windows defender kick on, nevermind an encoder... some apps don't hog up the bus, but some do -- and those you will feel.
You have a chance to buy something new, don't try to compromise and go mediocre -- you wont be happy. Get what you know is the best for the thing you enjoy, and what works for work.
