It’s hard to compare directly with Apple due to the CPU architecture being completely different (you would have to wait for an Windows ARM-native version of Dorico to be able to properly compare). I’m not sure whether the Intel 285k will match the condensing benchmark speeds given above. There can be differences between the architectures that make one architecture much more efficient than the other at certain tasks, and something in the condensing operation itself may be something that ARM-based chips can just do a lot faster than x86. There may be other areas of the program that are faster with x86, but condensing is just the easiest to benchmark. So it will be a more fair comparison when we have Windows ARM options.
But DAW workloads like Kontakt heavily depend on single core performance (because a lot of plugins etc have single core limitations), and those are the scenarios the DAW benchmarks are testing. The Intel 285K doing so well reflects it mostly beating out the Ryzens at single core performance too.
I’m doing a new Cubase/Dorico build now myself, with the 285K and 256GB RAM.
