Long time user about to upgrade trading computer running Windows 10. Use IB data feed and have 25 individual windows open in SC spread across 4 * 4K monitors. Will SC performance benefit more by using a CPU with more cores, or a more powerful CPU with less cores? The choice is: (1) i7-8700K with 6 cores where single core benchmark is 5900 running 3.7 up to 4.7 GHz OR (2) i9-7940X with 14 cores where single core benchmark is 5200 running 3.1 up to 4.3 GHZ Computer will include faster m.2 NVMe SSD and 32GB RAM in both cases. Your guidance is much appreciated. Thanks!
