Hi.
I am planning to build a new PC by the end of this year and with the new processors in the market that are powerful and expensive, I do not want to get a overkill that i will not be using on the daily basis in Visual Studio 2017 (no streaming, no video editing, no 3D rendering and similar creator tasks).
I could not find any specifics on the architecture of Visual Studio 2017 and how and which parts of Visual Studio 2017 benefit from multi core processors, here are some questions I would like to get the answers to. The setup is a 20 projects WPF(XAML)/C# solution in Visual Studio 2017 with Resharper installed on Windows 10. No virtual machines. Assuming I have a fast SSD and 32 GB of RAM.
1. Is VS 2017 optimized mostly for Intel rather than something AMD specific?
2. Is single-threaded performance more important than extra cores in Visual Studio 2017?
3. Will it benefit from having more than 6 cores (8, 10, 12, 16 ...)
4. Is XAML designer optimized for multi-core?
5. How do different parts/windows of Visual Studio (Error List, Watch, Stack Trace, Performance, Output, etc). Do they benefit from multi-core?
6. Will plugins (like R#) benefit from multi-core?
7. Is quad channel memory vs dual channel memory something to take into consideration when working in Visual Studio?
8. How does the story change when running 2 instances of Visual Studio 2017, the second one lets say a WCF project that is servicing the first WPF project?
Thanks!
