What is the baseline level of hardware / performance needed for system / common good chains?

Should we try to figure it out together?

Determine Collator node minimal performance requirement

The most common questions to onboard a new collator is: What’s the CPU and memory requirements? Parachain collators are very performance sensitive that only have limited time to produce and broadcast PoV block. The block production rate is usually bounded by network latency and single core CPU performance. While there is a reference hardware for Polkadot, it doesn’t necessary reflect the hardware requirement for parachain collators. A relatively new feature provided by Substrate is benchmark …
