    this project relies more on GPU, CPU won't even be affected much. the K12 has double the graphics performance

    Audio DSP and Windows Thread Scheduling

    When you boot into Windows for Room EQ (using software like REW or Dirac Live), you want consistent, low-latency processing.

    • The K12 gives you 8 identical, high-power performance cores. Every task gets maximum processing speed.
    • The K15 uses an asymmetrical Intel architecture with only 2 Performance cores and 10 low-power Efficiency cores. Windows is notorious for occasionally mismanaging real-time audio threads, accidentally scheduling heavy audio processing onto the weak efficiency cores. This can cause frustrating, hard-to-diagnose audio dropouts or pops during your measurement sweeps.

    K12 is better

    Appreciate it, thank you
