Hello -
I am contemplating building a workstation for heavy-duty Excel performance. Majority of workbooks are CPU-intensive and less I/O. Current laptop has a 4-core i5 @ 2.6 GHz and runs at 100% on all 4 cores for extended periods of time (minutes on "relatively small" data sets.
Looking at building a dual CPU system with (2) AMD 6-core 3.1GHz processors (with sufficient RAM, etc).
My main question is will Excel 2010+ utilize most/all of the 12 cores? Educated guesses are fine!
Thank you.
