Good showing though I wish bussing was more involved in dawbench
I am in the process of developing a bussing extended version of the DSP test.
I will be adding multiple group busses with assigned resource heavy pre-loaded tracks, and then having a secondary load metric for vertical ( serial) processing.
Still fleshing out the finer details and logistics , coming in 2022.
Thank goodness I can finally add that 400th compressor I've been needing
Right, you continue to miss the forest for the tree's
Disclaimer for those not as well versed as Richard on all things DAW benchmarking.
DAWbench is a parallel (horizontal ) multiprocessing benchmark , it measures x-scaling ( x being the number of cores ) in a DAW environment at respective latency settings, the plugins or the voices are simply the metric to apply the incremental load.
Your mileage may vary how that information translates to respective working environments, session logistics and configuration.
damn I was hoping DDR5 didnt show such a big difference so that I could feel comfortable opting for a DDR4 motherboard and cheaper DDR4 ram hahaha sadly it is pretty much impossible to get DDR5 right now, really hoping early 2022 we will see more availability, been wanting to make the switch back to PC for a while now.
The DDR5 combined with the new dual memory controller array on the Z690 has definitely shone a light on memory bandwidths importance for the heavier Kontakt based sessions, and explains why the X299 has remained so strong in those session environments.
The basic changes to the new DDR5 memory standard have already been discussed around the launch of the Intel Alder Lake CPUs, even if sometimes not completely correct. So today we’re going to revisit…

This is a good article explaining the Z690's memory sub system, and details the advantages of even the DDR4 array over the previous single memory controller architecture, and why the DDR5 configuration is another level above.
Its a shame Intel have essentially done another paper launch , not that AMD are any better btw. DDR5 is near non existent, and what is available is very limited and very expensive. I am yet to see many memory options for 64GB , let alone for 128GB , and the costing has to take a deep dive before it seriously becomes viable. ATM its a rort !
Peace
