What are you experience regarding sizing ?
Rule #1. There's no such thing as "too many CPUs or too much memory".
Rule #2. See Rule #1
Rule #3. Is your storage growing? If it is, see rule #1.
In general, the master server needs lots of memory and cpu and the media servers need less memory but lots of I/O bandwidth. All of them need plenty of disk space for logs - 20-50GB at a minimum and in a busy environment while troubleshooting issues, 100GB of logs is not unheard of. Without significantly more details on what exactly you're trying to accomplish and what config you came up with, we're not going to be able to get more specific than that.
