Depends on what the workload is. CAD, for example, barring new geometry work in progress now, is single threaded. People working on high surface count models want these things: Big, fat, fast cache Sustained sequential compute performance Sustained I/O GPU that focuses on geometry and precision. This is not generally an issue today, but can be on laptops. Desktop machines with active cooling are where it is at.
