For general purpose workloads maybe, but the target-audience for the Mac Pro is really for people who are using applications that are highly multi-threaded. Just look at the use cases Apple describes the existing Mac Pro for: > From production rendering to playing hundreds of virtual instruments to simulating an iOS app on multiple devices at once, it’s exceedingly capable. > Increased speed for Logic Pro X, MATLAB, Adobe Photoshop 2020, Autodesk Maya, Wolfram Mathematica Build Time, Final Cut Pro X > Tasks like animating 3D film assets, compositing 8K scenes and building lifelike gaming environments. This is the target market - and pretty much everything listed here tends to be multi-threaded. Making multi threaded applications aren't easy, but for high performance tasks all these use-cases have to be multi-threaded where possible or they are just too slow.
