Ableton Forum

I'd be surprised if Live 6 doesn't support more than two cores. I don't think the multiprocessor support is particularly fine grained but I'm sure it's not limited to two.


Juging by the cpu tests here, it do work. But maybe not as expected/hoped.

Go back a few pages on the end and have a look ...

Did anyone noticed here that a C2D overclocked to 2,xx ghz scored the same % as a 2,66 Mac Pro with Live6?? :?

So 4 cores on a MacOs are the same as 2 on WinXP?

Yes, it's a bit suprising, but I think those c2d are a later gen than the xeons in mac pro? Also xeons have much weaker memory ...

You might be right, I was thinking the same thing. It depends on the implementation so only the developers can answer this question.

I suppose you can always run reaktor etc... externally but it's not the same.

I am wondering after Intel has just introduced these new quad core CPUs how Ableton is fixed to perform on them.

It seems like many applications tested in benchmarks failed to make use of the extra cores. I wonder can Ableton benefit, as is. You would think that heavy plugs like convolution reverbs ...
