Hi!
I've recently built a new computer with an i3-4150, but the CPU doesn't seem to be faster than my old Q8200. In Ableton I get the same CPU usage percentage, or sometimes even higher. (Although these are quite small sets). The i3 has never been connected to the Internet, so its Windows hasn't been update yet, while the older computer has the new updates. Can this be the problem? Or the i3 shows its advantages only in larger projects?
