Question More core or more thread for multi instance bluestacks?

[PaddyVu]

I need to multi 8 instances at a time,running resolution at 288x162 in bluestacks but my PC cant handle it,i can multi 4 instances at a time but with a great stutter (96-100% CPU usage)
Can you help me build my CPU to multi 8 instances at a time? Thanks
My current spec:
CPU Q9550 OC 40%
Main P5P43TD
RAM 12GB DDR3 1333
VGA RX 570
SSD 120GB, HDD 1TB

More physical cores are always better than more hyperthreads.

let me give you my specs and my experience on running android emulator with many instance.
my specs were
i5 8400 6core/6thread
16GB DDR4 2666
MSI GTX 1070 8GB
SSD 512GB/ 4TB HDD @2TB each

nox setting at high! (3000mb RAM)
i can only open 4 instance without stutter (max 5 with slight stutter here and there)
nox setting at medium (2000mb RAM)
i can open 5 instance without stutter... but get BSOD instead.. (look like HDD problem for 5 instance in 1 HDD)
my solution with this spec was download 3 different emulator
instal bluestack on my SSD (1 instance)-High
instal nox on my 2nd HDD (2 instance)-High
instal memu on my 1st HDD (2 instance)-High
Result 5 instance running together for 24hours no stutter no hang freeze or BSOD.

thats just for 5 instance.. for 8 instance at the same time.. hell you need more than 1000$ or even more to make it happen.

Get BES,limit each instance of bluestacks to 50% usage,they should now run without stutter but will only be able to run at half speed maximum.
