Ryzen 5 5600u for Ableton 12

Post by baseinstinct » Sat Mar 23, 2024 2:14 pm

Hi
Partly due to the AVX2 issue, I am thinking of replacing my age-old but capable thinkpad x230. Checking by processors rather than laptop brands, I have found AMD Ryzen 5 5600U to do well. Not sure how this translates to Ableton though, so I would appreciate comments and suggestions. I am aware this is a u series meaning its less power hungry and thus weaker, but the cpu mark is 15400 vs my thinkpad's 2600 (!).

It does avx2, although not AVX-512 if it matters.

Here are some parameters

Is this is a good choice for A12?
Thanks.
