I am going to upgrade team's cluster in next two months.
I choose between add more CPU miniPC machines (i5-10400 or ryzen 5 3600) and multi 8x GPU (CH70X GTX 3070ti mining card).
Question: CPU or GPU will be better for Number Fields?

NumberFields does well with both. I find my GPUs crunch more tasks per hour than the multi-core CPUs, but the GPU app is considered less efficient when compared to other projects.
