Guys, can you advice what is the best speed/price ratio from Core i5-i7 CPU family for launch LBC soft? Im going to participate and luckly it's time to upgrade my HW. Thanks.
Depends on your budget.
The
https://ark.intel.com/products/123767/Intel-Core-i7-7820X-X-series-Processor-11M-Cache-up-to-4_30-GHz is a nice CPU with lots of potential.
Seems a 1950X Threadripper is even better.
Don't go for Vega{56,64} yet - lot's of trouble - AMD guys seem to need more time to provide sane drivers.
If I was to choose some MAX configuration, still in reasonable reach for the well funded individual, I'd probably go for a
1950X system with two 1080Ti GPUs - should give me 90-100 Mkeys/s now and XXXXX in the future.
If you want better price/performance ratio now, at the expense of less future potential, replace the 1080Ti with 1050Ti.
