If it is the CPU, my next question would be how much of a difference in performance would we see with an Intel i9 10900k or Ryzen 9 5950X gaming CPU compared to a workstation PC CPU like a Ryzen Threadripper.
While CMO is inherently more scalable than CMANO, 6-8 hardware threads (either cores or cores x2 in hyperthreaded CPUs) are still the sweet spot ATM. Heavy-hitters like Threadripper, Epyc or Xeon typically offer more cores but not significantly higher clock frequencies. (They also offer much bigger caches which are always useful). So unless you are a pro user, running multiple Command instances in parallel, these CPUs are a rather poor investment.
Pros often run multiple instances in parallel, so they can easily max out even monster CPUs if they want.I wonder what specs users of the PE version of CMANO run and how large their scenarios are.
