ThreadRipper is great if your tasks are always multi-threaded, but if you're doing anything that sees more benefit from single-core performance (like a lot of games, though this is changing), you're better off with something else.

Don't forget just how many simultaneous processes run on a stock OS install anymore.
More cores/threads are good at least to the point where you have as many hardware threads as software threads.
Even a pile of single-threaded apps running simultaneously benefits from multiple hardware threads.
