What kinda specs of a computer its taking to make these?
Jet Engine compile sounds pretty hardcore..
For an audio render
im still baffled whats taking up the horsepower

I don't have the minute specs in front of me, but the processor is a 24 core Intel I9-XXXXYY and it runs very hot very quickly.  If I have the system set to "Performance" profile and I'm just doing normal stuff, it still fires up sometimes.  But during audio mixdown and rendering work, it goes into commercial jet taking off mode.  It also has a very high end very large SSD and 32 GB of very high speed RAM.  I would have to log in to my account with the manufacturer to see specifics, which I don't have time to do.

This system uses energy so fast that it only gets a bit past an hour and a half of battery time even in battery saving mode. I didn't buy, spec or intend to use it to use on battery, but it's thirsty.  Between the faster processor, the number of cores, the amount of RAM and the faster SSD, it also tests out at over 6x faster to do audio manipulations than the  previous production system was.  And I'll take it, even if it is loud, because that means I can work MUCH more efficiently.
