Xeon or i9 with Cubase

Hi, all. I’ve been doing some research lately as I am planning to buy or build a new station. I am a Windows user, but was thinking of maybe getting a Mac Trash Can (10cores 64gb/12 cores 128gb). But after reading some topics here re Cubase malfunctions on people’s Macs, I’m concerned and thought to stick to Windows for now. I am a film composer and I’m using a lot of Spitfire libraries in lots of instances of Kontakt packed with extra reverb. I’ve a Cubase 10.5., latest version. My question …

Dual Xeon Optimization in Cubase?

I have read on the Steinberg site that Nuendo is optimized for dual processor workstation/servers. Does Cubase 8 have this optimization as well? (discussion of it is not included in the features listed for Cubase) I have a dual xeon e5-2697 64 gb workstation that im running Cubase on currently and even running asio guard I dont get the level of performance that I would expect for the level of processing power I have. On an average (not large) session mix with a reasonable number of plugins …

Is there any advantage of using Dual Xeon computers?

Hi everyone Is there any advantage using dual xeons in a cubase setup? After Cubase 10 is supporting 14+ cores, I thought this might be a good alternative to u i series processors. Imagine two Xeon processors with 10 cores and 20 threads. That would give you 20 cores and 40 threads in total combined with a huge amount of ram. Anyone ever been running a rig with dual xeons?

I am using dual 2680v2 with 512Gb ram. I can see clearly that there is no clear evidence showing that dual cpu speed up your workflow. By disabling usage of the second cpu in task manager, the ASIO usage stays the same as enabling dual CPU. Even if you get 24 cores or more, it is likely that cubase don’t support using all of them, and you will even get greater latency caused by the communication of the two cpus.
I will reccomend EPYC 7003 series(7443/7543 )or threadripper pro 5000 series for both high frequency and core numbers. You can also use 7940x, 9940x or w-2155 for relatively low price.
