Does it help in any way? All of mine are just normal guitar pick shaped.

According to Wikipedia, the benefit is that this shape has 3 tips, and assuming that you use all 3 tips, it will last 3 times as long.

In practice this means you can achieve an annual savings on your guitar picks budget of about 1$.
