Do you have numbers to support this ? I've done some test on ThreadRipper
2990, and many things scale very well after configuring it (tried software
encoding and software color conversion). Of course, just adding queues as a
parallel method won't work, but many element already have ability to use
multiple threads internally.

For servers, where the 64 threads can easily be exhausted, I believe the
best way forward is using the rust threadshare, looks a bit experimental,
but sounds like the right approach.
