Thredripper or Ryzen? - Use of multiple threads and cores

[Olivier Croquette]

Hi,

I think the question is if the image editor will be faster with a
Threadripper with more cores than a Ryzen.

I guess it depends on the image size and the functions used. A good way
to find out is to try these functions with typical images on a normal
system and look at the load of the CPU and if all cores are used. If
not, more cores will probably not make things faster. Better single-
threaded performance would then be a better option.
