hi Teddy,
I will let you and the list know how my 32core will do, on cinebench 11.5.
any other benchmarks I should consider?
I think I'll have the 32core before the end of the week, hopefully will be able to run some of the tests by then.
Met vriendelijke groet/kind regards,

Onderwerp: [AE] [OT] first impressions of late 2012 mac mini
Finally broke down and bought a new mac mini to help do some prores encoding. the specs are 1TB hdd, 2.3 ghz quad core i7, 16 GB RAM, thunderbolt, USB 3.0 and FW 800.
Cinebench 11.5 CPU score was 6.5. That is awesome. My i7 2010 MBP gets 2.3, and the new $4000 (fully loaded) iMac tops out around 6.8. Even better I got it for under $900 brand new on ebay. My overclocked, six core 3930K PC running at 4.7 ghz with 32 GB RAM scores around 13 on max cpu speed, so it would theoretically take less than three of these mac minis to equal the workstation CPU output. And a good deal more efficiently, I think (considering I have much more demanding graphics in the workstation than the mini). I can see just six minis being a SERIOUS upgrade to render power in AE / Cinema 4D / Maya / Realflow. Not to mention their extremely small physical footprint. A personal supercomputer of sorts. I'd be interested in comparing price / performance to that 32core opteron rig someone is building.
