Need help understanding computer resource usage

[Alakazizam]

I'm looking around for a good work station but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how to expect how many bots can run on what.
I just babysat a buddies computer for a while and he let me run bots on it while I had it. His processor is an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x eight-core processor 3.70ghz. CPU maxes out right at about 30 bots. I have my own old computer that I also run on and it has an AMD Phenom II x6 1100t 3.3ghz. This maxes out at just 10 bots. All bots are using the same script for testing purposes.

I'm looking at buying a PowerEdge server but I'd like to understand a bit more about what I'm looking for as far as cores and speed are concerned when it comes to trying to predict about how many bots it can handle at a time.

Ram seems to be more straight forward but I'm having issues understanding the CPU

For CPU you could try to make sense of CPU benchmarks. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Phenom+II+X6+1100T&id=394

The AMD Phenom came out in 2010 while the Ryzen 7 2700x came out 8 years later.

AMD workstations are popular rn since you can get a lot out of the ryzen cpus. So maybe do a bit of research on that before going for PowerEdge servers. You want your workstation to last a while and not use old tech

Right now I'm looking at a PowerEdge server with 4 Intel Xeon E5-4657L v2  2.40GHz processors
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5-4657L+v2+%40+2.40GHz&id=2480

Comparing it with my current botting computer and my buddies computer I'm thinking I should be able to squeeze 100 bots into it.

But I'll definitely look at AMD workstations before pulling the trigger on the purchase.
Thanks for the help

Hey man! Any update on what you went with and how it turned out? I’m going through the same exact questions right now!

For a PowerEdge server, aim for a CPU with multiple cores (e.g., 16+ cores) and a high clock speed (e.g., 3.0+ GHz) to handle a significant number of bots. RAM is also crucial, with 32GB or more recommended for running multiple bots efficiently.
