bbuchanan Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi all, I currently use my 2008 C2D Macbook Pro to audio work with VSTs, such as NI Massive and Reaktor. However, I am finding that Speedstep causes CPU usage issues with these VSTs - this can be fixed by removing IntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, but I loose sleep support in doing so. I've tried the various alternative kext on this site, but none give me both control over Speedstep + sleep support. Can anyone comment on how the new i5/i7 CPUs handle audio work? I'm concerned that Turbo Boost will cause me similar issues if I upgrade to a 2011 Mac Mini. It's a shame that Apple don't allow us control over power management profiles, in a similar fashion to Windows. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
