I was browsing the forums and saw that someone has a IBM x3850 x5 which utilises 4 CPUs e7-4870, so a total of 40 cores, and 80 threads.

For a similar price, I can get a Ryzen 9 3900x with 1 CPU that has 12 cores and 24 threads.

Which would be the better machine for strategy creation given same RAM and everything else? the Ryzens from AMD are latest chips whereas the e7-4870 are now discontinued Xeons.

Anyone have any idea??

Keep in mind the power consumption. The IBM is a server i guess which is going to consume considerably more and with much much more noise at full throttle.

In general, the relationship between cores and clock speed is what matters the most, but the ryzen 3900x is just fine. I’m generating with an epyc 7502P (64t) which i think is amazing.

Now that the new Apple M1 chips are supported.. I was wondering how a new Mac mini (8 core and 16 neural engine) would compare with a server with 40 cores and 80 threads vs the Ryzen 1 CPU with 12 cores and 24 threads..

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
