So ie pianoteq models are very cpu intensive and/or not very “accurate”? (genuine question)

  Pianoteq now isn't meaningfully CPU intensive because our CPUs have gotten so fast (read: Alder Lake and Zen 3)

    I routinely hit 100% of a core on Pianoteq on a 3 GHz i5 from a couple years ago (keep in mind it uses multiple cores). Pianoteq is definitely CPU-intensive. Diva hits around 50% and it's also considered CPU-intensive.

      > 3 GHz i5 from a couple years ago That's nothing compared to what's readily available today; this isn't 8 years ago when CPUs were stagnant.

        If your assumption is that people are always buying brand new Threadrippers or Mac M1s every couple years, then we're living in different worlds. Musicians, especially, are much slower to upgrade hardware and software than other users because of the risk that something breaks during the upgrade--there are just so many different pieces of software that can break. A lot of musicians with Macs stayed on Mojave for a few years after it became obsolete just so they could run 32-bit programs, even though the writing has been on the wall for 32-bit programs since the very beginning of the Mac on x86 era.

          I'm not one of those who uses software that can't just be recompiled or emulated for a newer platform.
