The answer, as always, is "it depends."

Can you give us an overview of your setup? The appropriate setup for small numbers of long-running analytical queries (typically faster CPUs) will be different than a setup for handling numerous simultaneous connections (typically more cores).

But CPU is often not the limiting factor. With a better understanding of your needs, people here can offer suggestions for memory, storage, pooling, network, etc.

Cheers,
Steve

Hello!

I've heavy loaded PostgreSQL server, which I want to upgrade, so it will
handle more traffic. Can I estimate what is better: more cores or
higher frequency ? I expect that pg_stat should give some tips, but
don't know where to start...

best regards
Jarek
