“YouTuber James Zhan has now carried out an extensive test that verifies an assumption that has been growing for months in various forums: Some DAWs only use the P-cores on Macs, but the E-cores are hardly used at all.”

I hope when the M3 minis come out, I’ll be able to find comparisons to the 10 year old intel imac I’m looking to replace.
