Good news! I have a shiny new Ryzen 7950x to replace my aging i7-3770k!
Bad news. It hasn't really improved rendering times.
While rendering video, CPU usage seems to hover around 30% (with the fans barely ticking over). RAM usage is low, I/O is at maybe 80MB/s on a drive which can do way more than that, I'm reading from one drive and writing to another... I think I'm doing everything right?
If you are on DaVinci Resolve, fastest GPU and lots of VRAM is necessary. CPU is inconsequential. I can’t speak for other NLE.

My GPU's not so great --- an Nvidia 1060, so that could be it. But doesn't the renderer use both GPU and CPU together? I'd still expect to see 100% CPU while doing work no matter how fast my GPU.
(I did try turning GPU acceleration off in the preferences, but it didn't make a difference.)

No, not at all. Unlike premiere or Vegas, Resolve is primarily GPU and VRAM dependent. The NVIDIA 1060, depending on what you are rendering, won’t cut it. You can try rendering a DNXHD and 1080 timeline and that might work.
