Some games make use of it but most only use less cores (up to 4) I am sure the PS5 and next Xbox will use more cores since more cheap cores is cheaper then less faster cores.
PC gaming is usually held back by the mainstream market, which isn't bad but when you buy a PC these days its very good to keep in mind which parts will be more "future proof"
Look at the sandy lake 2xxx series when people said you could buy a 2500k over a 2600k because NO game used the HT (8 logical cores vs 4) option but in the past period of gaming the difference between these 2 processors is NIGHT and DAY.
Same goes for benchmarks right now the cores in Ryzen or i9 won't gain much short-term performance gain but 3-4 years from now you will be very happy you spend that extra money especially since processors can go a long time with no upgrades unlike graphics cards.
