Ryzen 32 core
Hi there, i want to buy a pc with a 32 core ryzen processor. Stricktly for use with PT 12. But does PT use all the cores if needed? Or would it be wiser to invest in a different systen? Thanks a lot for your response!!

Re: Ryzen 32 core
For PT a higher clock frequency is more important than core count, since workload distribution is based on signal paths and those are not spread across cores. I wish they would change that, but I don't know if that is even possible.

What really helps to spread the cpu load is if you use something like Kontakt or EW Play (samplers) is to not use a lot of patches in one instance. Rather use multiple instances of Kontakt or EW Play with single instruments like putting all trumpet articulations in one Kontakt, flutes in another, etc. |

Re: Ryzen 32 core
Forget AMD for PT and most DAWs (and lots of other non multicore specific software - so unless you're doing heavy video/3D rendering).
Get an intel 8700k and overclock it 4.8-5ghz all cores on air - noctua cooler + grizzly thermal paste). 6 cores not 32 but the speed AND IPC is important for a lot of software and just behaves better. Adobe suit and other software was optimised for intel CPUs too. |

Re: Ryzen 32 core
People thanks a lot for your response. I didn't really expect it and only see it now.. got such a good deal on the amd computer that i couldn't say no. Well it will be a leap forward for me anyway. Let's see..

Re: Ryzen 32 core
I still have a question about the use of the cores. I understand it's benefit is regarding multi-tasking. E.g. run different software simultaniously.
How does this translate to the daw? I mean, when i keep adding plugins and instruments, is the computer then multi-tasking and using it's cores or not? |

Re: Ryzen 32 core
When I upgraded fram a i7 920(4 cores) to a i7 980x(6 cores)(yes, I know these are old ), the performance boost was massive. NI action strings that would stutter and barely run with the 920, was smooth with the 980x. In fact I stick to that machine still.
So my experience is that a greater core count are good for performance in PT

Re: Ryzen 32 core
Hi Rossi- Thanks for sharing. Appreciated! Sounds good and i recon the development in daw land since the larger amount of cores become available will be also focussed on that.

Re: Ryzen 32 core
I wonder if this still applies in 2021?
Is intel still the most stable and best solution for pt or will amd (e.g 3960X or 3970x) work just as well today? |
