Basically, I do a lot of audio work, and my Digital Audio Workstation DOES take advantage of as many cores as I have available.
I've been using a Phenom x4 960t for a while now, and had no issues with choppy audio, crackles, pops, or any of the telltale signs that your CPU is getting maxed out.
Now, I upgraded to the fx-8120, had it overclocked and stable at around 4ghz, and it never got much past 50% CPU, however, at about 40%, i would get choppy, laggy audio and super slow response time when working on a project.
Any explanation as to why my 8-core is shitting on me at 50%, while my quad handles it flawlessly?
