Hi, I am working with LRC and do edit RAW pictures with 50 to 60mb per pictures. Doing so, in my opinion, my computer let me wait too long times. I am not working with the latest hardware, but a Intel Core i7-10700 CPU with 32GB RAM seems not to be that worse.
Can anyone give me a hint if a upgrade of the RAM could help of only a new machine as AI needs more power? If so, any ideas what minimal requirements you would suggest?

32GB RAM is a good amount when you have a discrete GPU. It is unlikely that adding RAM will produce a significant performance boost.
The system information that was attached says the GPU is an RTX 2070 with about 2GB of VRAM. I’m not a GPU expert but that might be a little old. It is more likely that a GPU upgrade would provide a noticeable performance boost, such as an RTX 40x0 series with at least 8GB of VRAM.
This is a change from earlier versions. Lightroom Classic used to depend more on CPU cores, but the current version makes much better use of GPU power. For some recently introduced features, especially the latest AI features such as Denoise, reflection removal, and GPU accelerated previews, GPU performance is the most important factor.
There’s nothing wrong with adding a little more RAM, but it should be secondary to upgrading the GPU, and you might not benefit from more than 48GB RAM.
