Threadrippers are fucking hilariously priced, like £3k+ for the slower versions of the latest generation, and even then there are definitely benefits in a few games/programs that a "typical consumer" would use. Those are retail prices btw they get way more costly for the enterprise-grade chips AFAIK.

Linus Torvalds uses Apple Silicon Macs nowadays but in 2020 he had a $3500 PC and that's without a GPU on top.
