Question on number of Cores v GHz of a computer

I am looking at buying a new computer. I have been under the impression with flying xplane that the number of cores a computer has is not as important as the GHz of the computer for better xplane performance. If that is correct, is this the best computer for xplane

Intel® Core™ Processor i7-7740X Quad-Core 4.3GHz 8MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2066 

or this one

Intel® Core™ Processor i7-7820X Eight-Core 3.6GHz 11MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2066

 

Thanks for any computer advice anyone can offer.

At the moment X-Plane is not very good at running on many cores. This may be changed in future. But hard to say when and if.

So the best CPU will basically be the CPU with highest GHz pr core.

I.e. a 32 core CPU with 3GHz will most likely performe worse then a 8 core CPU with 4.5GHz :)

You can read more here from the x-plane developers.
