Default Mac Pro 2013 10 or 12 Core?

Hello

About to upgrade a 4 Core Mac Pro 2013 (D300) to a faster processor and more RAM. Looking for best option. I wish to maximize performance for Plugins and Virtual instruments in Pro Tools Ultimate version 2020-09 on MAC OS Mojave. System will be upgraded to 64 GB RAM.

This is the info I have so far (not sure if it is accurate):

Looking at this information, the 8-core appears to be the best option all around, but I have read the 10 and 12 core are better for audio. I realize these numbers alone don't tell the whole story. I am curious as to what is the real world experience out there.

Any other processors that work, and have better performance?

Anything to watch for in selecting a processor upgrade?

Thoughts?

Thanks. . .
