For a new rig - Is multi cores/threads the way to go above single/fewer core performance?

For a "do it all for you" rig, are we in a position yet where "more cores/threads" trumps single core performance?

Are we on the cusp of a "multi threaded heaven" or are we just simply nowhere near?

When looking at most "consumer" rigs, they are nowhere near.

Regarding games, if the rumours of next gen Playstation being Ryzen driven, could PC gaming go back into the dark ages of shoddy ports if 8 core titles are watered down to fewer cores on PC?
