Subject: More CPU cores vs faster base frequency
Hello all,
I am trying to help a friend re-gain access to his ethereum wallet (slow scrypt hash, n=262144).
I'm using it as a semi-valid excuse to do a custom build.
My question: in choosing a CPU, should I seek more total cores or faster base frequency?
Faced with a multitude of options, I've narrowed down to a couple of CPU possibilities (for lack of a better idea):
Intel Xeon Gold 6148 has 20 cores at 2.4 GHz base freq.
Intel Xeon Gold 5122 has 4 cores at 3.6 GHz base freq.
Both offer AVX-512 and both actually have the same max turbo freq of 3.7 GHz. Both same refurbished price point.
I tried to do my own homework, but I figured I'd reach out for help. I am extremely grateful for any advice or better CPU suggestions.
Many, many thanks.
