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.

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.
