Isn't running multiple single-threaded workloads at the same time also a case for better performance with more cores? So even for basic tasks having more cores is better (although maybe not that cost-efficient)

Running lots of cores at a low speed can be more efficient than one core at turbo speed.

only if those workloads are very CPU intensive, and the ones that are should probably be parallelized as much as possible anyway.

Sort of related: Adobe creative cloud is the most bloated, CPU-inefficient system I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with as a professional editor. I get FCPX is apple’s NLE but the render times smoke premier in comparison and CC in general is just way too busy in the background.
