You can get the benefits of a faster processor without constantly maxing it out. A faster clocked processor will complete tasks faster. If you’re just browsing the internet, no difference, but if you do any type of compilation the extra cores and speed will make a significant difference.
In the case of node and client side development, the extra speed can shave seconds off hot code injection and compilation times on every code change (every time you save the file).
