@gtg,
So, if I read that correctly it is better to have a single core that can pull its own weight rather than several that loaf about doing hardly a thing? Can't the work be delegated to specific parts of RAM?
Why not just one huge SSD instead of 3 smaller ones?
The problem is that in current blockchain architecrure you don't have much to run in parallel, so it utilize mostly single core.
I just have those good, old machines with good, old (small and slow) SSD drives. Sure, if you have bigger and faster (than those three in RAID0) use it instead.
