Of course they are OK. Until you need more cores. And virtual core counts are not the same as real cores. Virtual is just a fancy queue of processes waiting for service.Skrzat wrote:Perhaps those two core i7 in new MBP's are ok, they have this hyper threatening ;) so four virtual cores in total?
Yeah, but even if new releases are announced I'd assume you can't get one before quite a bit later this summer. Such an announcement may of course put previous models on the second hand market, so you could benefit from that.Skrzat wrote:I will wait for the Apple conference, at least out of curiosity, that's just a few days now.
I believe there are PC laptops out there actually made for music production. Some of them might even be able to run macOS successfully. AFAIK they're not cheap however, but skimping on a music computer can become quite costly in the end.
I can also add that just focusing on the CPU is not sufficient. A real-time computer is a complete system where every part counts.
