I think i may have found my new CPU lol. 28-Core should be enough? heh

- Jokes aside im still either contemplating the i7-8700k (6 Cores, 12 Threads @3.7GHz Coffee Lake (2017) or the Core i7-7820X 8 Cores, 16 Threads @3.6GHz Skylake-X (2017)

But why? I'd much rather go with the limited edition (assuming you can get one) i7-8086K (6 Cores, 12 Threads @ 4 Ghz Coffee Lake (2018) with a single-core Turbo of 5 Ghz). It will likely outperform both of the chips you're looking at.

Can Windows 7 pro address this many CPU cores? Do I HAVE to upgrade to Windows 10 to get a new CPU?
DAW: Reason 12

SAMPLERS: Akai MPC 2000, E-mu SP1200, E-Mu e5000Ultra, Ensoniq EPS 16+, Akai S950, Maschine

SYNTHS: Mostly classic Polysynths and more modern Monosynths. All are mostly food for my samplers!

Any 32 bit 7 edition will support 32 cores. Any 64 bit 7 edition will support 256 cores.

Mine is 64 bit, so thank you. Now I may have found something I'd like to upgrade to.....it ALWAYS sucks building a new system from scratch, as something always seems to need a little tweaking for some reason....but something this powerful seems to justify the effort.

Indeed! AH the joys of living in Australia.. we miss out again. Hopefully one of our Reason users can win one! - Cheers.
This sweepstakes is only available for residents of USA, Canada (excluding Quebec), UK, France, Germany, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China (excluding Hong Kong)
Going to wait and see if we get stock here and at what price. I also suspect some random eBay seller is going to try sell one for some ridiculous price lol

For the curious:
8700K - $505 AUD
7820X - $799 AUD

I could tell. They actually used a large fish aquarium chiller as a water cooler.

It probably still chokes when trying to layer 8 Serum patches.

Wait.. what? My 8 year old office PC i7-2600 handles 8 layered Serum patches just fine: :puf_smile:

If I actually had sixteen fingers, I might! :lol: But yeah, a 16 polyphony ReSpire pad is killer on DSP. Much more so than Serum, I think. Will have to test.
