Good computer : more than 100 threads ?

[protoss33]

Hello,

I’m looking for to build a good computer to can run more than 100 threads.
What can of processors, ram, mothercard etc.. I need?
If you have any links or advice, I will be really happy to know it

Thanks guys

I don't think you can build stable server to run over 100 browser based threads.
Bots will better work spread out to more than one server and running fewer threads.

What could be wrong with it?

I didn’t expected such answers
I read few old messages where people launched 100 threads

There's a difference between running template that work on pure get/post reqeusts and running template that actively uses browser, so maybe they used requests based template?
Honestly i'm not sure even if server motherboard with couple xeon cpu and 128 gigs of RAM will be enough to run 100 browser threads.

Well, it's nearly or almost impossible to run 100 browser threads on a consumer CPU. Ryzen 9 7950x will give you roughly up to 50-60 browser instances running at once, but this also depends on what the tasks are. Also, ideally you'd have to grab about 64GB of RAM

Ryzen 9 3950X/5950X + 128 GB of RAM = 120 threads minimum
Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3955WX + 256 GB of RAM = 180 threads minimum

I got Ryzen 9 3900x + 64GB and it can barely launch 30-40 instances of Chromium (Release build) when creating GMails with Selenium. And this is one of the simplest pages to process, as the DOM is pretty lightweight with little to no animations/background tasks.
There is no way 3950x can do 4x more threads when having just 4 more cores and being 20% more powerful. Also considering additional overhead of adding Zenno

Look closely, I have 120 browser threads running in Zennoposter + 200 non-browser threads. I can run more, 150 browser threads are running safely around the clock. https://zennolab.com/discussion/threads/good-computer-more-than-100-threads.112740/post-749648
Well, the fact that you can not run more threads, it's not my problem. on another computer, Ryzen 7 2700 + 64GB, I run 70 threads in Zennoposter.

Your template obviously is very simple.

Thanks you guys for your advices

I found more computer is not always better. EPYC 7742 (64 core-128 Thread) w/ 256 RAM did better than 3900x but not 4x better. Bad template design ... I'm guilty ... poor internet, also guilty may play a role but the cpu never went over 20% no matter how many threads I tried
