Do not worry, I have 25 years experience in audio production on Win and OSX platforms and beta testing experience with many major audio software developers. I use Logic and Ableton from the version 3.x/1.x respectively. Now I use latency at 256 samples that should be default for 20 years old machines. I was using Xeon E5-V3 X99 on 10.12. hackintosh, E3-1231V3 with H87 on 10.8-10.11.hackintosh and genuine Mac Pro 3,1 8-Core 10.6-10.8. every time with Logic and Ableton Live. I am sure that this is not my problem and my goal is not searching for problems. And once again, the same behaviour is under Windows 10 as well. This is just the statement that Skylake-X power management use resources differently and is somehow difficult to reach maximum power for real time multithread audio processing. I can make some DAW Bench tests on Ableton to compare the results with Windows machines with the same CPU
poshook: I was experiencing frequent crashes in Logic/Ableton and poor performance with my 7820x. This was especially with the Soundtheory Gulfoss EQ plugin which makes use of AVX instruction sets. Some research revealed that the 7820x cpu's often need to manually set Vcore to 1.2V in your bios to run stable especially with power hungry loads like AVX and low latency audio in general. Sounds unlikely but this fixed my stability issues. See here: https://communities.intel.com/thread/117668?start=30&tstart=0
