Dear community, I'm looking to run many SierraChart instances because I trade currencies. I have run as much as 4 SierraChart executables, and I noticed my system got slower under this load. At the moment, I'm looking to upgrade my trading system. I have read about hyperthreading, and I understand that the latest Intel CPUs have up to 8 threads. Practically, Windows treats 8 threads, as 8 different cores in the task manager. (afaik) Two of the most popular CPUs at this moment, are the i7 4770k (8 threads) and the i5 4670k (4 threads). Assuming I want to run 6 or 8 SierraChart instances, would having an 8 thread CPU increase performance, and overall snappiness of the System? http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4670K |
