Hi guys, I'm new here.
I write from Italy, so English is not my main language; sorry for any mistake.
Here we are: I'm planning to build my new DAW, but I'm not sure about the system I need; I'm using Sonar for years, and I'd like to use it in my new PC, too.
I don't know if in this case it is better to choose an Intel i7-7700 non K or an AMD Ryzen 5 1600; from the reviews, I see that an i7 has better IPC than R5, but this one performes better in multi-threaded applications. So, basically my doubt is if Sonar works better with a CPU with "stronger" IPC (such as Intel's i7) or if more cores are better for Sonar.
I already have 16 GB of Corsair LPX 2400 MHz memory, I got that kit for 70 euros and I'd like to re-use it.
Thank you in advance for any reply.
