You’ll run into CPU bottlenecks long before you get anywhere near 100% utilization. You’ll start seeing it around maybe 60% utilization on any specific core.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen 100% utilization across the entire CPU on any consumer PC’s use case. It would have to be a very specific set of things, excluding synthetic benchmarks.
Honestly my 5800x3d/128gb/4070ti ddr4 setup still just absolutely rips. Undervolted some of the cores way back when and it runs cool and just hammers whatever I throw at it. I used to traditionally do 4 year refreshes, but this builds doing time. I’m not even going to look at it until 2029/2030 now. And at these prices, if they are still like this, I’m all for PC gaming and everything but I’ll be in my late 40s then. I just don’t game as much anymore and the console/PC gap is so big right now for price/performance differences that I might just not even.
I have no plans from upgrading from AM4 and DDR4, even before the prices went crazy. I don’t need to, my CPU isn’t even being used 100% during gaming.
