No changes in the recommendations. All processors are basically Intel at this point and basically the same speed, plus or minus 25%. I would make sure you have plenty of memory—8GB if you want to do multiple runs in parallel. Although if you need to do a lot of runs in parallel, you probably want to go to the cloud via a service like JEPlus, APIDAE, EnergyPlus Cloud, or by firing up your own OpenStudio server instance. Oh, solid-state disk also helps with I/O but just plain RAM is more important.
