going to (let) build a new PC with 13900k and 128Gb RAM… coming from a 5280k 32GB
Question 1: does the MHz or the Latency of the RAM affect Cubase or SampleLibs in any way thats significant? Or is that more interessting for gamer or video-creators Question 2: Is there any recommended Mainboard that works with no problems in pricerange 500 to 700 bucks?
Hi… I just built a similar machine… i9 13900k on an Asus PRIME Z790-A WIFI mobo and 64gb of Kingston DDR5 RAM @ 5200 mhz… Running beautifully… Highly recommended.
Uhm, maybe there will be a fix in Cubase regarding P-Cores/ E-Cores problems if they can make dropouts???
Dont wanna spent so much money to have now bottlenecks in that case…
I mean, why do I get that extra P-Cores and E-Cores if I have to disable them in BIOS?
Sorry for my bad english…
There will likely be a fix, I’m pretty sure they pretty much have to code the software to either take advantage of that new CPU system properly, or ignore it so that users don’t have to tweak BIOS.
These processors are so fast though, I doubt you would even need the E-Cores. I don’t know for sure though.
That’s what I believe as well. I think these processors are still a good choice, but for now you need to focus Cubase on the P-Cores.
IMHO the best choice is to set the processor affinity for Cubase, leaving the rest of the system untouched.
It is not something that you directly will feel and see, it depends on what you do and how much the thread director in Windows decides to move to E-Cores.
The support page from Steinberg is just a note telling you that there might be an issue, due to the new architecture.
