I am a music producer who does a lot of film and pop music. I am looking to upgrade my pc.
I work with a lot of vsts, sometimes even upto a 100 VST tracks or more at once(mostly kontakt, omnisphere, etc).
I use cubase 13. Any good processor recommendation?
Is there a new dawbench results out? if so, which parameter should i look at in that?
Thanks

 

I think one of the best you could try is "AMD Threadripper PRO 5975WX" some specifications are:
Cores/Threads: 32 cores / 64 threads
Base Clock: 3.6 GHz
Boost Clock: Up to 4.5 GHz

Of course, this may be overkill, but it’s a good long-term investment. Personally, I bought one so I don’t have to worry about the CPU ever again

 

only games need powerful cpu mostly.. i say mostly because games utilize alot of that

 

Sites like these can be helpful to get an idea of what works well for the task:

not true at all, games primarily need powerful GPU (graphics card), you can literally use 10 years old CPU (processor) and it'll work fine in games, especially at higher than 1080p resolutions...
