They are using Onyx Thrive 642. It lists i7 but then wants 12 or more cores. I talked with the tech and he said some i7 are 6 core. I said then you only need 6 or 12 and he said 12 is better, I am leaning towards dual E5-2643 v4 or E5-2667 v5 since they want speeds over 2.5GHz.

I have a client who is purchasing software to &quot;RIP&quot; to a sign printer. The software being used lists a recommended configuration of 12 or more cores be available and 32GB or more of memory. With this requirement is it better to look at single 12 or more core processors, 2 processors to total the 12 or more cores, or 2 processors at 12 or more cores? &nbsp; They recommend a Windows 7 OS.

Single vs Multi-CPU to achieve desired number of cores

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
