hi everyone. i am trying to understand the hardware associated with CFD software like ANSYS. i just want to know which is better for serious computational power - more number of slow cores or less number of faster cores. i will be a research scholar soon, hence i want to know as much as i can about the hardware. any advice related to CFD hardware will be appreciated. i have to buy a system which can perform very well the simulations and computations of fluid dynamics. is mac pro a good choice?
