What kind of chip best runs Roon Core? More cache, cores, speed...?

I’d guess either of the referenced CPUs will do just fine and perform in a similar manner.
While it wont help you at this time it would be great if you could add some data to the spread sheet referenced in the first post here:

Performance Matrix Roon Server

I know there are recommendations available for chosing hardware, but there are quite few performance reports from real world examples. Are there more people than me who wants to know what they can expect from, say, a Gen 6 i5 NUC running ROCK compared to an older PC with an Intel Core i5 3470? If so i suggest that we create a matrix within a limited set of boundaries to keep it simple and reasonably comparable and understandable. The only way i know of getting performance figures out of roon is…

That is, when you have made your decision!
