FCPX on 4c/4t iMac vs 12/24 Threadripper?

Hi, I see AMD Hackintosh is not recommended for FCPX but I'm short on actual benchmarks and experiences.

I have a 2015 5k iMac with i5 6600 and M395x Radeon. It's good but it's decidedly a single- task computer as it really struggles with multiple demanding apps being run at the same time due to only 4 hardware threads.

Now I'm purchasing a 1920x Threadripper with RX 580 8 GB.

I know AMD CPUs don't have Quick Sync but surely the 6x increase in CPU threads must make up for it.

Any insight? Thanks
