I want to build Monster computer for zennoposter "cpu suggestions?"

[Matzedoon]

Hello, I would like to build a monster computer for running ZennoPoster.
Any suggestions?

I think most importantly would be CPU. (since this will go easily to 100% cpu usage), I want to know what would be the best CPU to use to run ZennoPoster in very high Threads (100-200+) or even more, without capping 100% cpu usage? maybe 70-80% to still be able to use for youtube or a movie while it is printing money for me

Please suggest best CPU model to buy! (max price for CPU 2-3,000$ but if needed more, please suggest)

Or if this is really a good model? (not really a fan of AMD/ATI) but maybe I can find motherboard that supports 2x this CPU?

It's between Xeon's and i9's of intel that cost above 1-2k $

Intel Xeon is most recommended

I would look for some second-hand Intel servers or workstations, with dual-xeon, huge amount of ecc ram, nvidia quadro (only if needed in workstations).
Last year I was also looking at I9's or AMD Threadrippers but the cost of these cpu's and their motherboards was higher than a second hand HP Z820 with 2 x Xeon E5 2680 @2.7 Ghz/ 3.5 Ghz Turbo (in total 40 Mb Cache, 16 physical processors, 32 threads), 32 GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro K4000, fabulous cooling system, 1125W power source, etc. Of course, I've ended up buying the second-hand workstation on Ebay, paid $1500 on it (initial price was $1300 but I upgraded it from 32 to 96 GB Ram memory out of 384 GB max supported by the motherboard), and it handles 100+ threads on most of my zenno projects.

Also, don't forget that you pay a lot of extra money on I9 or Threadripper because they're optimized for gaming performance, a thing that you don't need in a PC for Zennoposter.

Now if you want the most powerful processor right now, check Xeon Plartinum 8180 (28 cores, 56 threads, 2.5 Ghz/ 3.8 Ghz Turbo, 38.5 Mb Cache L3) but be ready to spend a fortune on it, 'cause the starting price for this CPU is $10k.

If you want something with a more "decent price", look for Intel Xeon Gold series...some models cost below $3k/ per piece.
