    I am going to buy a new computer ( Dell workstation T5810 – Windows 8) to work with simulatons in R.

    Now I am asked what kind of processor I like and I was given two choices.

    1. Intel Xeon E5-1620 v3 – 4 cores 3.7 GHz Turbo
    2. Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 – 8 cores 2.6 GHz Turbo

    I don’t know what is better in simulation studies in R, a few very fast cores or many cores at normal speed.

    Can you please give me help about this?

    Warm regards

    Leif
