Lots of talk about the number of ecores and pcores etc etc.
In the end I just completely maxed my budget and went for the base 12core Pro with maximum ram (48gb in my case).
My main concern would be in 3 years time would I regret having saved a few hundred pounds with the base M4 and figured that might be the case
Cool, looks like you have a computer for many years to come.
Though the latest gen of plugins like Waves IDX and Equator are very hungry, probably in 2 to 3 years there will be even more hungry plugins.
The plugin manufactures definitely have a hand in computer sales as they constantly create powerful tools for us to use.
I could still produce great work without IDX and Equator, but i am working to deadlines non stop at the moment, and these 2 plugins are amazing at making mixes so clear with little effort.
