Is this a worthwhile upgrade? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Sorry if this is a dumb question. My current gaming setup is a Intel I7-4790k, 32Gb ram and a RTX 2080 Super. I came across a AMD Threadripper 1920x, mobo, 64Gb ram for free basically.

Is that worth the time/effort to swap over? It seems to me it would be, but when I search around for info I get conflicting opinions. So any input/insight is appreciated.

Edit: Thank y'all very much! I think I was overthinking single threaded performance.

I don't know much about the threadripper, but lol according to these benchmarks, yes, yes its worthwhile to upgrade, especially if you got it for free.

Tldr: 8,000 vs 23,000 multithreaded benchmark score on cpumark
