Once you reach a certain number of cores (~6-8) it depends on the workload.
Windows/File Explorers/Browsers/Games/General Use are all better off with single thread performance at this amount of cores.
Multimedia/Editing/Rendering/etc are better off with even more cores.
There is a balance between the two which nobody can solidly answer since it varies by use case.
