Hi.
A friend of mine needs to perform the computation of a matrix of routes lengths trough the Network Analyst extension to ArcGIS Desktop. My estimate of the size of the matrix of source/destination points he will have to process is 1000000 x 15 (i.e. 15 million routes), but I guess there is no need for the inclusion of all the source points in a single batch.
He will be granted a licence for the ArcGIS Deskop software by his University, but he still needs to purchase the notebook to run it and we are wondering whether the required 2.2 GHz minimum CPU clock frequency stated by the official documentation is actually a must, independent on the number of cores, or a CPU with multiple cores, say 4, and 1.8 GHz might do (eg Intel i-78550U).
