Hi! I was doing a workstation build with a i7-6850k and someone suggested me a ryzen threadripper, I'm assuming the 1900x as it's the closest to what I need.
That made me think about cpu mining. I know cpu mining doesn't mine enough for people to invest in, but since I'm going to buy a CPU anyway, I might as well make the best with what I got.

So, what does mining require from the CPU? Is it more cores? Is it more clock speeds? thanks!
