Thank you, that sounds reasonable.
However, the way Cubase works (thread per track) I think there should be some scaling.
Having said that, since my PC is watercooled, I may even go for overclocking that CPU to 4.2 GHz, but I have to check first if this causes electromigration or some other life expectancy issues - I aim to keep the CPU for 2 - 3 years.
Yes, I’m very interested in what Scott has to say. 
I will also ask another question in another thread in the meantime… there is one thing that really bothers me…
