I'm looking everywhere for a clear answer and can't seem to find it. I figured this community would know best as I've relied heavily on it for building my machine anyways.
In terms of Avid Pro Tools and plugins what is actually best here and can a Geekbench score really be the best benchmark for such a thing?
I'm using an i7-8700 with a score of 28,470. So 6 cores and 12 threads. To be honest, its amazing as is, and I highly recommend my build to anyone looking for a good Pro Tools machine.
An Intel Core i7-6950X is 10 cores and 20 threads but only comes in at 30,758. Not at all a reasonable improvement for me especially at cost. Or the Intel Xeon Gold 6140 with its 18/36 and a score of 31,992.
I can't help but feel like more cores would be better in the environment, right?
