Threadrippers are Workstation CPU's which rarely have onbard graphics.
Threadrippers are really powerful for multithreaded stuff but singlecore performance is worse then current Intel i7 and i9 CPU's in single core performance. So in Mastercam they should theoretically be slower (while being a lot more expensive).
I read somewhere the most reliable way to check GPU usage is to monitor the power draw. GPU-Z and MSI Afterburner are tools which show you the GPU power draw.
That's the infrasctructure of your company. If everything is setup the right way and both ends have a good internet connection, it should work plenty fast. Look at something like Geforce Now, you can even play games remotely where latency is really important.
You could also use a cheap laptop or a mini pc + monitor and just use a remote desktop connection. It's fast and cheap. Plus no syncing files on different devices. I'm currently using an old computer and just use windows remote desktop to connect to my main pc in the office.
Open the toolmanager inside Mastercam (not the standalone application), there you can import STP files straight to the holder database. As long as the holders provided by the manufacturer are clean and Z axis up.
Short answer: They're probably not worth it for Mastercam.
Threadrippers are the AMD alternative to Intel Xeons. So they have lots of core (up to 64 at the moment) but not the highest clock speeds. And they support more than 128GB of RAM.
In professional 3D modeling and special effects (for games or hollywood movies) they get used a lot. There you can split the workload evenly, which often is not possible in Mastercam. Some of those guys are running crazy systems (Threadrippers with 64 cores, 256 GB RAM and multiple GPUs) but for this special use case it's totally worth the money because you save so much time).
In benchmarks the i9 is 3-4% faster. The boost clock rate is 5.4ghz vs 5.8ghz.

I'm left handed and can't use a mouse with my left hand. When I used my first computer as a kid everyone had the mouse on the right side, so it only felt natural this way I'm glad it worked out this way, it would be really annoying to be dependant on a left handed or symmmetrical mouse.
While calculating toolpaths and stock models your CPU should be maxed out. I see your CPU is a mobile version, are there any power saving settings that are activated maybe?
If you want max performance you will need a Intel i7 or i9 and not a Xeon.
That would be done with nethook or chook. I think so at least, I don't know how it works exactly, still learning.
You would probably find more on the subforum:

Yes I have 3D and multiaxis here. The file worked when I used it the last time on MC 2022.
I tried a few things yesterday but can't get the hybrid OP to regen. I usually work with MM not inch maybe it's loading some weird settings altough Mastercam asks about chaning to inch when loading the file.
