The time to perform a context switch on EPYC Rome processors is lower and comparable to Cascadelake, which itself is a huge improvement over Skylake given the hardware mitigations in place that had really drove up its context switching time.
The high core/thread counts of the EPYC 7002 line-up also spelled great news for the multi-threaded rendering performance in workloads like Blender 3D, Appleseed, V-RAY, and Indigo Bench.
