My modelling is CPU bound as it's a model made in Fortran by physicists (me included). The fact is that I wouldn't get a 4x boost, and a model running overnight still would. When I actually need performance I use a 1000 cores compute cluster for multiple days, so that would never run on any consumer CPU anyways.

For the data processing, the real bottle neck is disk access and my scripting speed, so the CPU doesn't really need to be amazing.
