    More E cores aren’t for “mundane background tasks”. They’re to maximize MT performance in a given die space.

    It’s why 8+16 14900K competes with 7950X in MT applications, but would clearly lose if it was the alternative 12+0.

    Most people, myself included, would struggle to really utilize 32 threads. But the 7950X and 14900K exist for those that can or may be able to.

      They’re to maximize MT performance in a given die space.

      And I never said otherwise.

      I explicitly mentioned that more E-Cores can boost scores in multi-threaded synthetic benchmark and - in turn - any parallel workload.
