Oh, well, not that synchronisation and core-count can be disregarded altogether, more an addition than a correction
It’s still worth considering this, as well as memory configuration / type / latency, for example. Surely it could be slightly more difficult to properly configure/tune a system with a higher core-count.

I saw a good piece of advice from Pete Kaine who is a system builder at Scan computers re: memory on the X99 platform.
He says that faster memory is actually more prone to cause problems and using 2133 will not be noticeably slower or lacking performance in a DAW environment.
