Re: Intel Core i5 vs. i7
i7 is obviously better, but I do run a commercial studio everyday on an i5 6600K.
It runs smooth and solid when tracking 17 musicians and doing 7 monitor mixes plus the studio mix at a buffer of 64 samples. no hickups.
I do also mix large (+80 tracks) sessions with plenty of plugins, at a 256 buffer at most.
