Hello Support Team, we are referring to thread New trading PC We are also in the process of building a new trading pc's. We planned using i5 intel processors. Having read the above mentioned thread we just halted the ordering process first asking you for clarification: You are recommending a 6 core processor which would require an i7 processor. Experiencing Sierra Chart as extremely CPU friendly, we are wondering why you are recommending 6 cores. Thank you for any clarification, Best, Chris |

I run SC in a VM using 4 virtual cores, the difference between an i5 and an i7 isn't going to matter.

You do not have to get 6 cores. It is up to you, but if you are opening many Intraday charts at once it helps to have multiple cores because the loading of each chart is done on a background thread. But then again if you only have one hard drive or SSD it may not make any difference. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Planning on only one very fast ssd all clarification makes completely sense and I am thanking user i960 and Sierra Chart Team. We keep on going with a newest generation i5 processor.
