First of all... Congratulations to everyone responsible for 'Optimizing' Studio One' as of version 4.5 - 2019.05.19 release. Thank-you! This has been a deal breaker for me in the past. Reportedly, your resulting performance increases of between 50 & 70% are nothing short of amazing. In order to take FULL advantage of your latest & future optimized coding - with it in mind to also to take advantage of blazing TB3 signal paths within my Home Studio setup, I am wondering which of (4) iMac Pro (Core) configurations, will maximize Studio One 4.5 'Real-Time' performance under heavy workload conditions, the present core options being: 3.2GHz (8-Core); 3.0GHz (10-Core); 2.5GHZ (14-Core); or 2.3GHz (18-Core)? I don't pretend to have any bragging rights, when it comes to understanding such technical specs., nor do I have the slightest clue about the IDEAL core count our PreSonus user group may now wish to consider, when trying to setup the BEST (Software+Hardware) combo. Something, that may be of EQUAL importance here, is also taking into account, the min CPU processing power of our most demanding Plug-Ins, often 2.7(+/-)GHz these days, I am therefore guessing, the 3.2GHz (8-Core) or 3.0GHz (10-Core) would sort of answer my own question, lol but... any comments you might have in this regard, would be helpful and appreciated :)  Keep On Rock'n!
