Questions about server configuration for YADE computing

Many companies, big and small, are looking to play within this space. We compiled a list of edge computing companies to look out for in the next couple of years.

You can use NVMe storage for your yade/is installations as well as fast
ram.

You can ensure highest clock frequency for your cpu, and ensure that it
maintains high clock when all cores are active.

Thank you for your help!
Is it possible that increasing the number of CPU cores or memory capacity will have any positive effect on the computational speed?

Thanks Robert Caulk, that solved my question.
