Android Studio on Dual Xeon Workstation

Question

Curious if anyone out there is doing Android Studio development on a dual Xeon machine.

I would like to know if the additional CPU gave a dramatic or visible (50% or more) boost in build performance.

Answer 1

You probably found out, but for others wondering: Chances are - it won't.

Did some testing with two relatively quick E2650 v4 Xeons on a largish Java + Kotlin project and Xeons were considerably slower than low core count / higher clock CPU's.
