	I would suggest beginning with basically an eight-center computer chip, with 16 centers presently being the perfect balance. More than 16 (for example with Threadripper Experts up to 64 centers) accompanies a solitary center presentation hit, so while delivering will be quicker, different jobs like dynamic work will begin to endure.

	My new PC (12th gen., Intel core i5-12400 processor) has 6 cores and 12 threads, and I'm wondering what I should set 'number of cores' to for engine analysis in the Arena GUI. I have 7.7 GB usable RAM so have hash set to 2048 MB, but I'm not sure about cores, since I don't know if I should be leaving one or two free for other computer processes? Or does that apply only to threads, which in any case are not set separately in Arena? I like to analyse in Demo mode (i.e. engine plays itself) with a 40/120 time limit, but also in Infinite mode of course. All advice gratefully received!
