It's running an Intel i7 920 CPU. I am absolutely floored at the power this DAW has. So far, it's extremely stable with an RME PCI host (for Multiface), a MADI PCI and an HDSP AES32 card running in a Magma chassis interfacing the computer via PCI. It's also got a UAD-2 Quad and a Duende PCIe onboard. I'm recording 56 tracks right now at 32k buffers (0.07ms) latency with about 5% CPU usage and approximately the same percentage of VST resources being used in Cubase 5. This is the first time in my history of running a native app that it performed at low enough latency to come anywhere close to the Paris system latency witout fretting about some frigging VST spike in Cubase. It's also the first time I've seen anything like a correlation between the Windows CPU usage metering and the Cubase VST performance meter. Usually, the Cubase VST performance meter is much higher than the Windows CPU musage meter. Coincidence?
