doogiet

while i'm happy that arm was developed in england where i was born i have to recognise that majority of studios use intel or ryzen processors at the heart of
their windows pc's.

fyi years ago as i was working on tech i suggested to uk powers that be that uk needed its own dominateing computer industry.
when uk has brilliant engineers and scientists it baffles me why the uk wouldnt have done more in terms of tech products brought to market.
my own studio that i have done an abundance of songs has not one
british tech product sadly.
so i'm curious what are the benefits of a arm pc when amazon and tech stores are flooded with new and refurb intel and amd pc's at knockdown prices ?
for example lenovo refurbs under 200 bucks with ssd.. that would run biab.
(i did a ton of songs years ago useing lesser capable processors/systems.)


i'm not posting this to be a smart A...but because i know there might be 'lurkers' new to music production who might be considering biab purchase.
and possibly this discussion might be of help.

fyi my own studio has 2 pc's...one intel mini pc (under 150 bucks) i picked up purely for the net and thus sandboxing my music production pc from contamination.
(studio pc will do over 180 tracks...mini pc too/ryzen/m.2..
gens bb tracks blink of an eye.).
in total for my production pc and net pc i paid under 600 bucks.

given the above why did you not choose intel or ryzen ?

i'm not a semiconductor engineer but..
frankly i would like to see much faster processors but the laws of
physics are a stumbling block as there are only so many transistors
that can be crammed on a chip i understand....sigh.

so we are stuck on this plateau now it seems that i find highly boring...lol.
what happened to 'moores law' ?

happiness.
