Can I fry an egg on it? What percentage of software can take advantage of all the cores and threads?

That is a complex question.

Early indications are that it runs cooler than the Intel XEON chips.

It can run a hypervisor and thus multiplied Virtual Machines.

Running a single game on it would be a total wast with maybe 4 of the cores busy....typically but there are some games out that do some multi-threading.

Doom with the Vulcan coding.

Most of the various bitcoin mining software can take full use of this hardware.

The FReepers own Folding@Home group can make full use of this hardware, running protein folding simulations to advance medical research.

Almost all AR and VR software makes use of it.

And the plethora of Wall Street computer trading systems that run Linux will run with few modifications.

Doom, as noted above, and Solitare, see much less improvement ... but the cards cascade down REALLY fast when you win!
