It's bad enough that i7 MacBook Pro owners aren't seeing much performance increase over previous core 2 duo models - when they clearly SHOULD. Now, they've crippled the one processor which actually COULD use hyoerthreading effectively. Bonkers.

4 cores total, either mac pro or iMac i7.

8 core machines, no real change.

Not happy - way to go Apple. My MBP is about to die and I have £2k sitting in the bank waiting to buy an MBP i7 but it clearly shows I may as well just keep my current 2007 MBP and my £2k.

We wait 9 months for an update from Apple and yet Ableton manage to update their software ever other month or so as I'm out by 2 revisions on my Ableton.

Hi Sampleconstruct .... "for the avoidance of all doubt".... you seem to be running the same Mac Pro as me( 2 x 3ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro version 3,1) ...... is that the Quad Core Mike C is referring to has problems? I still find an ambiguity but you seem to have a positive reply to Mike's note ........ which actual MacPro has the problem with 9.1.2 hyperthreading and Cores?

9.1.2. ht on = 24
9.1.2 ht off = 28

9.1.1 ht on = 24

identical performance!

Not to defend Apple, but I think that other than 2 nice tricks that sound so-so Ableton NEEDS to update their toy frequently as they can´t make it sound decently yet. IMHO, thats it.

This doesn´t mean that this program is perfect, but it´s a lot better than Live which is a DJ app that also does other stuff. Stable as a rock, has to be said.

Then, Apple, go and fix PDC please.

We are save to upgrade, affected machines are 4-core machines and iMacs, not 8-core computers.

...so that is the first "improvement" stricken from the list. Bummer.

Any comment from anyone "closer to the fire"? Blueberry? 21st Century? David? This seems like a promise that isn't there - at all. So is it going to be fixed, or is the release document going to be edited?

Even 'bummerer' is the near certainty that nobody will/can/may answer the above questions... 😟

May i make the very humble remark that some system overload messages that were there in some of my projects before the update are suddenly gone on my late 2006 white macbook 🙂
Has anyone else noticed this miraculous behavior? Or is it just a coincidence?

Loading times are shorter, some 3rd party Plugs that were causing occasional crashes before are now behaving correctly - seems to be a good update...

Oct 15, 2010 7:08 AM in response to Sampleconstruct

Does it make any difference whether you run Logic in 32 or 64 bit mode? I'm trying to decide whether to do this update - I run Logic 9.1.1 in 32bit on a 2x2.8ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon..

9.1.2 is here!!!
