Having said all that and knowing the sort of work you

probably err on the side of getting as many cores as you can reasonably
afford.
Strange, people claim that everything works without issues for old PCs,
with one or two cores, even without a using a kernel-rt, so I would try to
get such a machine that does everything that's needed, instead of getting
more than is needed, not only to get less power consumption/heat/noise.
IOW I wouldn't ask for the amount of cores, but for a setup that is known
to run without xruns, jitter etc.. A Ferrari is much faster than a lorry,
but would you prefer a Ferrari to a lorry for transporting band equipment?
"Tuning" is for optimizing a system, not for having the "most" of what
ever you can get.
For me this request sounds like ... I want to buy a new amp. What's better
35 W or 150 W?
I would ask ... I want to buy a new board/CPU and I own sound card Xyz.
What mobo/CPU do you use with this card and are there any issues?
