Haha. Touche. One specific question I am curious about is: Which is better, a small number of extremely fast cores or a large number of slower cores? And maybe to bring this into a more Apple-centric framework. Are there bottlenecks in the apple architecture that an audio programmer should be aware of while developing software?
I apologize if these questions are very basic. I'm just getting into audio programming. :)

apple computer" :)
