i7 9700K - 8 cores, 8 threads.
I have an i7-6900K with 8 cores / 16 threads
The wife has an i9-7940X with 14 cores / 28 threads
i7 9700k so 8 cores 8 threads
@Hexus if you make this a poll we can see the distribution
12 proper full-fat cores, 24 threads.
4/8 in my other machines
I have a mini box with 8/16 on order (at this rate it'll be obsolete by the time it arrives)
5 - 4 processing cores and one in it's name.

Ryzen 5800X (8C/16T). Pleased with performance, although it does run a little on the warm side.
“work” PC 8C16T - Ryzen 2700

gaming pc - 6C12T - Ryzen 2600
rtmp server - 4C - Xeon something ;)
NAS/Plex server - 6C12T Xeon X5670
As mine is the Ryzen 9 3950X, that would be the aforementioned astonishing 16 Cores (and 32 Threads).
8 Cores. I'll wait for DDR5 for my next upgrade.
6 Core 12 Threads, recently upgraded from 2 cores 2 threads. A nice improvement to say the least.

This tbh… most of the QOTWs would be far more interesting in poll format!
5900X, 12c/24t, fwiw…
6 cores 12 threads, amd 1600x
4 cores / 4 treads. I only have 4 as i want a decent IGP (Ryzeb 3 2200G).
I have never needed more than 2 cores despite gaming and doing normal stuff (browsing, office, skype..) -
When would you like to have more than 4 cores - I mean most gaming is restricted by GPU anyhow.
12 / 24 Threadripper 1920X
I will probably downgrade to 8 / 16 next time around, this was a bit overkill i am afraid.
8 core, 16 threads.
Ryzen 3800X
Just the four.
Waiting for cheaper Ryzen 5s (non X) to come out, then will go for a 6 or 8 depending on price.
6 cores, 12 threads. Only 4 fans :)
Bought a 10700K with change for $277 inc.tax yesterday at Microcenter, so the build I'm buying parts for will have 8/16 when it's running in a couple of weeks. A nice boost from the 4670K in my last rig with 4/4.
i9-10900KF 10/20
i7-2600k 4/8
4. Nowhere near enough for these days. Oh well..

You say this however I went from a 2600K with 4c/8t to the 9700K with 8c/8t and decided it wasn't much of a step up, so picked up a cheap 9900KF with 8c/16t. Something just didn't really sit right with me. I think you would probably miss the extra threads if you downgraded, although chances are you'll be able to skip threadripper and just get a normal Ryzen with more cores / threads when you do next upgrade.
I have a laptop, with 8C/16T

Video encoding, rendering for me straight away
Still rocking an old I7-7700K with 4 cores / 8 threads
TR 1950X 16 cores 32 threads.
12c via R9 3900XT, just recently upgraded from 16 cores which were dual 8c E5 2690 Xeons and before that I had dual 6c Xeon X5650s. So I've gone 12c -> 16c -> 12c over the last 6 years or so.
5600X So 6.
Weird how cores have been in my machine over the past decade, FX6300 6 core –> 6600K 4 core –> 5600x 6 core.
Mind, ignoring hyperthreading here ;)
Ryzen 5 1600X. 6c/12t still going strong.
Latest machine? 12c in the form of a 3900X, work's laptop, a 4c i7 (can't remember what model, but it doesn't exactly trip off the tongue but it's getting on for about 6-ish years old now though, Intel naming conventions aren't getting any better it seems), previous desktop machine a 6c 3930k.
Just changed the main PC's CPU to a Ryzen 5600X, so 6c/12t. It previously had a Ryzen 2700X in it, which was 8c/16t.
So less cores, but better performance and far less power consumption. That's a win, win as far as I'm concerned
8 CORES 16 TREADS good enough for gaming and other stuff
My old core 2 quad box : 4 cores, 4 threads.
xeon workstation: E5-2670 with 8 cores, 16 threads.
4 cores, 4 threads, 4 GHz. Been on the same Sandy Bridge chip since 2011. As much as the idea of more cores is appealing, I don't actually need more.
My laptop has 6 cores and 12 threads, though. It's superior for CPU performance, but is also noisier and has less storage, so I typically use the desktop.
It looks like single-digit answers don't appear, so…
6
i5 9600k, 6 cores at 5hz. Runs fine for most games and apps.
Ryzen 5 2400G so 4 cores and 8 threads. Can't complain really at the moment.
Only 8 cores. I really want 48. For the hell of it.
The machine I use on a daily basis Is my MacBook Air M1 - so 8/8.
Under the desk is a i7 8700k with 32Gb RAM, so 6/12. I switched it on once since buying the Mac ..
24 cores / 48 Threads (AMD Threadripper 3960x)
My current PC has an i7 875k with 4 cores/8 threads, but I have a PC on order from Scan which I'm waiting for, and that will have a Ryzen 7 5800x with 8 cores/16 threads. Hopefully I'll get that within the next couple of weeks! I would have liked a 5900X, but they haven't shown as being in stock for a long time.
Workstation: AMD TR1950x (16c/32t)
DevTestLaptop: Intel i7 (4c/8t)
HTPC: AMD APU 2200G 4c/4t
NAS: Intel Xeon 4c/8t
Next buy probably AM5 socket 16c CPU
i7 8086. 6 cores, 12 threads.

Ryzen 5800X (8C/16T). Pleased with performance, although it does run a little on the warm side.
I feel you, I run it under water on a massive, 9 fans and 4-radiators setup. And it never drops below 10 degrees over ambient, while my old i5 Kaby Lake ran 4-5 degrees over ambient.
They are fast, though.
Mines a i7 9700K - 8 cores, 8 threads.
Ryzen 7 5800X - eight cores, sixteen threads.
A poll would be nice, if possible.
i5-10400f - 6/12
Just upgraded from a 4/4 i5-4670k
4790k 4+4 @ 4.4GHz. Not much reason to upgrade heat compromised Intel or over priced AMD. Especially as I can't even buy a faster GPU to match a faster CPU.

i sympathise but there is plenty that benefits from a better cpu without needing a big GPU. One of my machines still does very well with a gtx460 in it.
6/12 in my XPS 15 but want a desktop too, the Dell gets hot quickly under load
12, and it was totally overkill upgrade from my Ryzen 5 3600. But i'll leave it there :P
4C/4T. Kinda itching for an upgrade but that means new mobo and RAM as well.

16 treads…. big boots?

16 treads…. big boots?
Stamps all over the competition I guess!
8 Core 16 Thread 5800x in my main PC
6/12 2600 in the wifes PC
6/12 Xeon in the server
4/8 6700k in the music studio PC
4/4 Athlon x4 950 in my sons PC
6C/12T - 3600 - I've struggled to really use 6 cores so more is just overkill.
Heck I've found my budget 4 (A8-5550) and 2 (Celeron N2930) cores laptops from 6 years do the job most of the time if I'm not gaming as long as they have an SSD in them. I'm really not convienced have more than 6 cores is of any benefit on a desktop unless you are rendering or do scientific work (or something else unusual) and even then a faster GPU is usually more important now.
My desktop has none…… but my cpu has 6.
