Windows alternative to Logic & Studio One?

Got turned on to the layout of Logic today, especially for production. Secondly, finding that Studio One can't handle the workload I" giving it for mixing audio tracks. CPU meter in Studio One hitting red playing at noisy slow tempo while my PC computer @60% capacity with 32 gb RAM ddr3. This is because Studio One doesn't allocate the load of a plugin over multiple cores. So if you use a lot of sends,it will start to freeze up. They say Studio One is cpu driven rather than RAM driven. Heard Logic runs great on just an ssd drive. I have an ipad but not sure if that will be sufficient. Would prefer not having to buy another computer. Looking for a Windows-based clone if you will to Apple's Logic. Does any exist? I have Ableton already, and the scenes screen reminds me of Logic's workfliw in a way, i.e., working with loops Top priority is to find a DAW for mixing right now that is a powerhouse that can eat whatever plugins you feed it in tempo.
