How well does Designer multi-thread?

Looking into building a new system. I would like to know how efficiently Designer multi-threads on the CPU. For instance, can Designer take full use of a 16-core system, or would an 8-core system with faster per-core speed perform better?

    It's mostly gpu and ram I think. 

    I didn't see a particularly significant improvement earlier this year going from an 8 core xeon with a 1070 to a later model 16 core xeon with a 1080 despite having (theoretically) more than double the cpu power.   Obviously it was faster but I'd attribute it mostly to the better gpu.   

    I have a 3-4 year old  12core i7  with a 1070 that was on par with the (newer) 8core xeon/1070 

    Not scientific but there you go.. 

    My feeling would be that you're better off spending money on the gpu than the cpu with substance. 
    That said 16cores really do make a difference when building code etc.
