Processor recommendation

But what if you need a PC for printing extremly large files (think "the Mona Lisa", vectorized and duplicated within the document 100 times). I can barely do it with an intel i9-14900F, 128 gb ram, 12 GB graphics card and 4.55 TB SSD hard drive.

Are we just pushing the limits of technology too far?

Hi Ashutosh, Thanks for repsponding. I was rather hoping for a more specific answer. I'm sure you'll be aware that although illustrator uses multiple cores for some of it's tasks, the main job of processing vector graphics is only done using a single thread. It is this reason that I want to know what the very best processor is to get for processing huge, complicated gis documents. The list you sent me is a list of the 'minimum' requirements illustrator needs. This is not what I asked for. I don't want a list of the recommended requirements either, I want the name of a processor or two or three that are the very best, fastest(specifically for illustrator!) that its possible to get. I can easily go on a cpu benchmarking site but I want to know from someone who actually knows. I doubt the Mercedes F1 team or SpaceX use a budget processor in their vector wind-tunnel analysis software... So please can I get an answer from someone that knows? Thanks in advance. 

Have you been following AMD's Ryzen 5900x launch? It has a decent increase in single core performance, even compared to a 10900k, and it only improves with higher core models, which you'd think would be the opposite. Then again, like everyone questions, how much does that translate to Illustrator? When is there diminishing returns? How much does memory speed and timing help? Hard to know when reviews and benchmarks don't cover Illustrator and heavy documents. I plan to get the 5900x, replace my 8700k, and see how Illustrator performs differently. I don't work with large map GIS files, but once you add several layers of effects, performance drops.
