Heads up for those that have been following along and are interested, I have posted 2 follow up articles on the Windows and DAW’s series.
Part 2 : Multiprocessor Resources v Real World DAW Performance !
Summarizes and covers the work and testing done and reported on with the initial DAWbench DSP MIX sessions, which shone a light on DAW thread management and associated dynamics with the respective audio engines.
Part 3 : Cubase 14/15 : Core Handling v ASIO-Guard : The Ongoing Enigma !
Covers the more recent investigation when we revisited the testing 18 months on, and the discovery that the thread management and ASIO-Guard issues being navigated on Windows on the larger core systems, had also cross pollinated over to MacOS once higher core counts come into play.

DAWbench Suite 2026 has also been officially released, which makes available the primary test sessions covered in the reports.
