My workloads are more of an outlier when compared to the general PC user crowd, but I do keep an eye on my CPU usage and it is often between 25-100% CPU usage, depending on the situation.
Workloads, where more cores really help out, are:
* re-encoding video files to save disk space (it's amazing what speeds I can reach with my Ryzen 5 2600X here!)
* IntelliJ (startup, indexing)
* running tests (can be configured to be very parallel)
* running JS heavy sites, like Jira (you would be surprised at how resource intensive websites can be nowadays)
* running more than one Electron based app (Spotify, Slack are surprisingly CPU intensive, especially if you have poor/no GPU acceleration support)
