Cheers for showing which chips
not to sound bad... but they are all very old now.
The newer chips are brutal in Comparison
not to mention they are still not fully optimized
& the bigger chips are equally fast, as is the mobile silicon

 

Kinda seems like you're actively ignoring every new chip that isn't a flagship, top of the line release.

If you're making software that doesn't run well on a 9900k, R7 5700g, 10700, then you're going to get what, a few more instances to run well on the newest chips?

Also take IPC into consideration and how DAWs leverage that vs clock speed, or how capable DAWs are at utilizing multi thread processing. It requires a lot more knowledge and information that just "new chip faster and gooder".

Half the the CURRENT generation chips being released are on par with the previous generation (or 2) in terms of performance. This years i3 is last year's i5 in many ways. A 5950x will be more performant than a weak 7000 or 9000 series chip in many applications. The 5000 series chip will draw a lot more power tho.

Edit: And then there's mobile chips (other than M 1-4 series). It's a mess. Last year (and I think even this year) there are laptops being sold with AMD ZEN 2 processors!

Soundpaint isn't doing anything mind-blowing compared to other samplers/instrument library engines. Definitely not enough to eat as much CPU as it does compared to Kontakt on the exact same chips. Soundpaint needs some optimization imho.
