After the New Roon Update: with upsampling the processing speed decreased strongly

I would recommend that you don’t copy information from 6+ years ago without understanding the core issues.

The post you linked wasn’t wrong, it’s out of date. There’s many CPUs out there these days that have exceedingly high single threaded performance and clock speeds while still having a high number of cores. Core count alone doesn’t give you the information you need to make the assertion you’re trying to make.

If the OP was for instance, running a Xeon with a max turbo of 2.5ghz and twenty cores? I’d be in agreement with you. But those are becoming less common every year, unless you seek out the most ridiculous of the available Xeons.

Anyway, I’m happy to see that the OP saw improvements with the core assignment suggestion.

I don’t have that type of Intel CPU in hand right now to look, but it’s very possible that they’re in numerical order, with 0-7 being your performance cores. It’s also possible that 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 are the hyper threaded cores. If you have issues in the future, avoid those.

Also FYI, Windows will forget your assignments when the application is closed.

There’s a few programs and guides on how to do it more permanently a Google search away.

Try reading their recommendations on knowledge base it has no mention of what you say at all. If it was so important it would be on there. For DSP it still doesn’t mention it.
