I am building a high spec computer as below.
64GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM
11GB GTX 1080 Ti GPU
1TB SSD PRO SM 961 M.2 Hard Drive
I am in a dilemma which CPU to install
My worksheets consist of up to 800,000 rows
and around 75 columns, most containing formulas.
size around 500-800MB.
No VBA is used only simple to complex formulas.
My initial reaction was to install an i9 14 core CPU
in keeping with the other high spec hardware.
However, from reports I have read, it appears that single
thread performance is almost as important as having multiple cores.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me. At what point does it
become an overkill ?
Thanks
Ian
