I don't know if this is the correct place for this question or not but here it is, what hardware specs are best to optimize Microsoft Excel 2010 or newer? i.e. more processor cores? higher clock speed? more ram? etc I was running a massive Excel sheet on one of the University computers today and the program really started to slow down. I made some changes to the document to simplify it, but it still was running slow. I was curious what part of the hardware was creating the bottleneck. Thanks.

It seems the device is likely using more power than necessary, which could explain its sluggish performance. Generally, outdated equipment tends to be slower, regardless of how recent the operating system is.

Boost your CPU, RAM, and GPU performance—don’t forget to crank up your monitor too! In reality, increasing RAM can make a noticeable difference. 4GB should suffice for most activities if you have background processes running.

It mainly consumes RAM. Moving files to an SSD could assist. Modern quad-core processors aren’t overly sensitive to CPU speed. Still, I relate—working with Excel sheets of 10k cells is tough.

It seems the main focus is on the CPU, highlighting why Microsoft struggles to optimize it for their operating system.
