If you do compiling then multiple of threads are better.

For video editing multi threads is HUGE.

If you have several single thread applications open then multi thread is better. Multiple of tabs multi threads is better.

Most of the time single thread performance is more important.

That's why I upgraded at home from a 6700k to a R7 1700x. My build times went down to like 55 to 65%, so not quite 2x as fast.

No, but you got an 80% improvement for a similar price.
