I am a statistician using Stata MP, looking to build a new system. I need two things: >4 cores (since my version of Stata is a 4-core app and I'd like to use all four while multitasking), and >8 gb ram: unlike SAS, Stata loads datasets into ram, so I need 12 or 16 gb of ram.
Question: Should I go with AMD 6 core setup now, or wait for >4 cores from Intel?
Thanks much!
