A recent thread on a CPU spike issue by a PT user got me wondering - what is the best/fastest CPU for Win-10 these days that will work with PT, and what MOBO would be the "best" for it?



A related question, what besides CPU might cause latency when tracking? Even on my older i7, I can track most VI's at 256k, and don't notice any latency when playing off my MIDI controller (Yamaha Motif XS8)...usually. On a few things, like some East-West libraries, I can notice it some, and try to go to 128k. But normally, I haven't noticed any real issues. For me its more running into CPU limits when I have too many VI's running during playback, or with some (ie, Dune 3 or Omnisphere) which can be CPU hogs. What I've noticed with some of the newer VI's is they tend to be more CPU heavy than older ones. So, upgrade to new system is overdo, I know.
