Yeah, this PC has a Haswell CPU.

As much as I want to agree on Ryzen, Intel is still the best platform for low-latency audio stuff. So I hope that performance-per-watt is or will be good as I'm beginning to get that PC-building itch. I'm curious what its idle usage is like.

But my living-room PC has a third-gen Ryzen (I built it just before the pandemic hit) and have been super pleased with its performance.

Do you have a source for Intel being the best platform for low latency audio stuff?

Nothing citeable, just anecdata and murmurs from being active in that scene for a long time
