I am buying a new workstation and want to choose the best CPU that is faster for baking lightmaps.
I know that Unity doesn’t do very well with multi-threading so which of those 2 should I buy? which will bake lightmaps faster?

Baking does use multithreading for parts of the process. Just make a build and watch the task manager/system monitor.
Maybe wait a few weeks and get a Ryzen? They do look promising benchmark wise.
Shader compile spams each core, ryzen mus be nice when you build 
I read that ryzen avx2 is half the width, do you guys use avx for image and audio compression?
