More so a curiosity question.

When running a dedicated eco server (either on windows or Linux) whats more important the core count or the clock speed?

My guess is that the core count matters much more as i believe eco is multitreaded up to a point. Curious to know how many cores the eco server can use at one time and what kind of tasks are placed on each core.

The relevant metric is the clock speed (and the CPU being recent), the server doesn't make much use of multiple cores outside very few tasks like the world generation. It is specifically recommendable to use common high-frequency desktop cpus.
