I'm the IT guy for someone running Matlab. He's primarily focused on the deep learning toolbox as I understand. Unfortunately I'm not sure how well his code is optimized, or really anything about it. I'm trying to build him a much beefier pc as his current model takes 12 hours to run. I put him temporarily on a 5 year old xeon with a GTX 1060 card and it dropped to 8 hours. What I'm trying to figure out generally is what is the best hardware lines to put him on without knowing much about what he's running.
For a CPU i9-9940x or a Intel Xeon Gold 6230
For a video card, a RTX 2080 or a RTX Quadro 5000.
Does either line in each case have something about it that would make it better in general for MATLAB over the other? Sorry for the lack of details, this is more of a general architecture question rather than a specific use case scenario.
Thanks.

I'm just going to throw like 128gb in for RAM. I doubt he'll use it all but he's been running out now at 32. I'd prefer to future proof it a bit. The PC will be setup for him to remote into so that the video card isn't used for monitors.

Extra video is important because there are a lot of Nvidia that do not support remote access computing through a remote desktop connection. The ones that do support remote access support TCC https://docs.nvidia.com/gameworks/content/developertools/desktop/nsight/tesla_compute_cluster.htm but a device in TCC does not support local graphics even for console.

For Deep Learning the RTX 2080 is a good choice.

What about a 4000? Doing a bit of speccing, it seems like the geforce cards aren't really available when you get a workstation with a xeon processor. I'd have to basically build a powerful gaming pc to go the geforce route which means going more with the i9 instead.

At this point I'd just be reading the specs for you and guessing at what's important for your purposes. Basically go for the highest single precision TFLOPS you can afford, the largest memory you can afford.
