Use case?

not much use for that. You can't even use it for a lower power server build because it didn't support proper C states until a few generations later. Zen didn't become good until Zen 3.

what's a C state?

>>106413414 (OP)
not sure, aren't these "CPU's" or whatever only have add, subtract, and boolean operators?

pretty sure CPU's aren't going to be a thing. there's literally no use cases i can think of (not because I would rather put down this tech than admit to my own ignorance)

It's a power down state for cpu cores. It can mean a tenfolds difference in power usage. Ryzen 1 only supported C0 and maybe C1. Ryzen 3 and above supports C6. Intel supports up to C10.

It's quite essential if you are running a system like a file server that runs idle 99% on all but one of the cores all the time. It's the difference between the system running at sub-10W like Intel or 20W like modern Ryzen or 30W like first gen Ryzen or 100W like the early A8 AMD APUs (released at a time when a high end 3570k could already reach 30W idle times).
