Me too. Not the kind of mac that pulls as many tracks as an i9 13900KF.@ori69 I appreciate my alder lake hack more and more. I've also been using an old macbook pro and Audio Gridder for off loading DSP for Acustica's monstrous plugins. Kinda cool. Could get an M1 just for that!
When my finances chill (never) I plan to put the 13900 in my 690. We'll see how well that goes though. Its just nice to be able to work without stopping to problem solve (freeze, change instances, use lite versions of plugins, etc...)
If I were you, I would seriously consider switching to Apple Silicon. On the i9 9900K Logic Benchmark achieves 140-150 tracks.

From the results, I suppose that'sOn the Logic forum we tested two Mac's Mini (8GB RAM SSD 256GB and 16GB RAM SSD 1TB) in Logic benchmark and the performance is not much better than MINI on 2018 Intel processor and worse than MINI with M1.
From the results, I suppose that's
mini M1 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD
mini M2 8 GB RAM, 256 GB
Is Logic Pro limited by RAM (or RAM bandwidth), by storage bandwidth (known weakness of the 256 GB M2), or both?
NB The graph not starting at zero makes it look more severe than it actually is: 76 / 80 / 90.
