Are Xenon / Ryzen class PC build SKUs better at multi-debugging scenarios?

I write code that runs both on applications running in emulators, as well as code that runs docker images locally.

I debug both code bases at the same time, since I'm testing scenarios such as "what did App sent to server? What did the server process? What was sent back?"

For that, I've had a build that runs Android Emulator + IntelliJ IDE debugging the app + another IntelliJ IDE debugging a dockerized Kotlin react server + chrome providing real-time debug logs in between.

At worst, when debugging both scenarios i'm clocking at 90% my total CPU count (it's an i7), with about 14 gigs of RAM usage (I have 16).

So this got me thinking. since I have multiple processes running (the 2 IDEs, the Emulator VM, the docker image + Chrome + whatever remote debugging processes that trigger) if a CPU with high number of cores + tons of RAM would help out.

This led me to start thinking about switching from an i7 to a Xenon / Ryzen / threadripper class SKU, while expanding my RAM to 64.

So before I sink A TON of money on this - I was wondering if anyone out there in the Stackflow community faced similar dilemmas and resolved similarly as well.

In essence, are Xenon / Ryzen style processors BETTER at simultaneous debugging scenarios?

Thanks
