I’m setting up new DAW and so pay att to new stuff coming to the market. Has anyone heard about usefulness and compatibility of new Intel processor group/chipset (P67, H67, or upcoming Z68) for audio application (Cubase, Wavelab, MR816x)
P67 seems better than H67 (it offers more room for fine tuning and overclocking)
Seems to be nice for a DAW
Check benchmarks here (2nd picture): http://www.adkproaudio.com/benchmarks.cfm
A link to a discussion about it all, 2600K with a P67 would seem to be the way to go. 2500K disappoints for now.
Hope we see Scott (jschilds) back here, though he is probably a little busy at the moment,
An important quote from Scott ----------" i thought the X58 platform was a difficult DYI build this looks to be even more laden with potential pitfalls"
— most of which seem to be down to which motherboard you choose and how to configure that particular board. I am going to wait to see which board(s) is/are best. Had my eye on the Gigabyte P67 UD5.
