Not having USB3 support allready shows that it would be wiser to choose for an intel processor...
USB3 allows for real time audio connections to Computers, allowing 16 or even 32 channels audio up and down in real time for DSP processing..
With current prices there is no single reason not to choose for the performance of an intel CPU set... And thats something current music hardware producers havent understood yet ( exception Korg Kronos). Anyway, only choosing intel (or compatible amd) will push performance forward...
On top of that, this set will not be seen in hardware in the comming two years, all new hardware has a development cycle, it will take some time... And thats another good thing of Intel, its backward compatible... I can develop on older hardware and in the end upgrade to new CPU and mainboard/memmory.. The hardware controll layer is independant of the software layer...
