Dedicated line question


If a piece of equipment requires a dedicated line/ outlet, is it imperative that that outlet be directly connected to its own breaker, or is it no different than if say one breaker/ fuse impacted 6 outlets but the other 5 outlets had and would never have anything plugged into them?

Sorry the question I
is focused purely on electrical draw. I’m aware of all the preferences around noise etc. this is just my lack of knowledge of electrical. I’m guessing if nothing else is ever drawing current on the other outlets and I’m supposed to have a dedicated line that from a pure power pull perspective it’s no different ?
Thanks everyone for the input.  I think I have my answer - basically if the equipment says it needs a dedicated line (purely for power pull), and I have one breaker connected to multiple outlets, but only the component in question is plugged in and pulling power, then effectively, from a purely electrical perspective, the juice should flow / be there the same as if it were on a single outlet to breaker connection.
