Sonar 25/06 requirements

[opera]

Hi from France. I use Sonar Cakewalk since decades and I have a lot of projects running. I see that the minimum requirements for the processor is nine cores. Actually CbB runs perfectly on my computer. It  has a Intel Core I5 10400 with 6 cores. Does it mean that I have to upgrade the processor or to buy a new computer ? Or simply that Sonar will not react correctly with an heavy charge in case of a big project ? 
Rem : I have a 32 GO ram.   
Thank you for the answer.

If you're running CbB fine, you should also be fine with Sonar, so long as you're on Windows 10 or 11.

so the minimum requirement is not 9 cores? so how many is it? (tbf is says 8 on the webpage https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021857753-What-are-the-minimum-requirements-for-using-Cakewalk-Sonar )

I have 4 cores and 8 threads and it runs fine here.  BTW, Windows 10 is about to lose support October 14 this year, as well.

You can think of it more like a recommended minimum. Can it run with less than 8? Yes. Will it run as well? No. Does anything prevent you from trying it on a system below those specs? Nope.

EDIT: Unless you're trying to run on an older version of Windows...

yep, it uses the word "suggested" 8 cores here https://www.cakewalk.com/

Thanks for each of the numerous answers. I'm comforted. Nothing prevents me to try. In France Sonar users can say : "we are not alone".

I'm running both Cakewalk by Bandlab and the new Sonar free tier on an i5 - 10600. Without any issues. Infact it seems more efficient on the new Sonar.
