Cubase and new Xeons, Xeon performance in geneal? Dev comment?

I would appreciate hearing from devs if they have tested on Xeon CPUs and if they will test the new Xeons which are inbound this/next month.

Some positives going Xeon,

  • unchoked PCIe channels to the CPU - 112 PCIe lanes
  • up tp 56 cores
  • all cores are performance cores whereas i series having a mix of Efficiency Cores and Performance Cores
  • higher core counts
  • up to 4tb of RAM.
  • ECC Ram
  • low base frequencies but turbo boost up to typical speeds

What does Cubase like better, less cores+higher frequencies, or more cores+lower frequencies?

Thanks

Hi there,
Additionally it would be usefull to figure if there is a high limit in term on number of cores, where it is not worth the price of CPU.
16 cores seems ok with Cubase but what about 24, 36, 56… ???

Thanks to investigate (I’m quite sure Cubase team would test this new Xeon solution)
