more cores will make difference with wine, specially on games that require 4 cores and then having free cores for wine stuff also. ofc frequency is important but nowadays not that critically, unless you have AMD FX cpu which just sucks with IPC

Btw, You'll need a lot of disinfectant to remove the Windows stain off that system :D

Ryzen have more or less pentium G3258 @ 4ghz single thread but i cant say anything for now
Tomorrow, tomorrow :D

but for example GTA V in wine will consume 4 cores itself already and then wineserver needs some also.
View PC info
Wineserver is a big problem still single threaded, hopefully wine devs change this situation in future
However as your said if used xbox one / ps4 generation games this games use better more cores
But back to theme most games tested will be DX9 titles with same settings used in last test
DX10/11 dont tested until what happend in wineconf on june 30 (DXVK)
^_^
View PC info
Basically gaming in wine is always +1 core compared to windows, cause of said wineserver.. thats with dxvk. with regular wined3d theres +2 because CSMT also pushes rendering to another thread so add +2. You wont have really good time with 2 core cpu in those situations. Ofc with quite a low end GPU like 1050, you will most likely hit the GPU bottleneck first at least with the case of dxvk or pba patched wine.
View PC info
If wineserver is upgraded to multithread, this could give performance boost (free % core load) and more now with cpus with 6 core or more
Hopefully devs make something on this topic
Back to theme without spoil things, yes csmt in dual core cpu is more expensive in most cases but in others not*
*Depend of how much % cpu use but in various cases works ok, however in others is bad
Wine still have non sane dependency of frecuency and single thread
