I have a 20 core CPU (13600), it is already much faster in compiling large programs: it took me ~15mins to build linux kernel. Even if some future CPU can speed up the task by say 3X, I still have to wait for 5mins, and will be distracted. Perhaps the difference would be larger for tasks that are much more time consuming than this, say 3 days vs 1 day.
