I was just perusing cpus and saw the 16 core AMD Ryzen 9 3950X. I also saw amd's threadripper models have as many as 64 cores. It seems to me that you could run a ridiculous number of plugins on one of these.
I've been getting into using multiband compressors lately. I assume they use a bit of cpu - but I've made no attempt to quantify this. I'm wondering where I'm going to hit the wall when using more. I've been eying bluecataudio MB-5 in which you can host additional plugins within it - where I suspect the load can really snowball. I'm also wondering if Saw's cpu load meter reflects the plugin activity or is it just the io load on the effects patching?
