Question A weird Q: would a newer i5 have a noticeable overall power?

[deezo123]

Hey guys!

I have just got a friend's build contains:
i5 10400 (2.9GHz)
Asus Prime H410M-E
2 x Kingston 8GB 2666MHz

My current setup is pretty much the same, except my CPU is 4590 (3.3 GHz) with Gigabyte H97-HD3

I mainly work with Cubase 12 and variety of VST plugins and I wonder if the newer one would have much overall power on my 4590?

I guess im asking if "the-move" to the other system worth?

Thanks alot!

Of course

Why not run the app in question on your friend's system and see if the performance is higher than what you've got to work with? Your processor is the minimum that the app requires, so you should be good with everything above that.

Its just that I have tons of information and huge plugins so to really check it I would have to move everything, but according to you guys answers I guess it worth it so I would give it a shot.

A 4th gen 4590 to a 10th gen 10400 (or later)

Yes...huge difference for that use.

Do note that you'll need to do a full reinstall with the new CPU/motherboard.
This includes all your applications and plugins...😉

Yes, It's a long journey, but I guess it worth it!

A very good move.
Other things being equal, the processing power of the i5-10400 is approximately double that of the i5-4590.
