I don't need the fastest CPU, just one thats really fast. my i7 2.93 4core averages 5% than my zeon 4X2 2.8 tower. the i7's have more than good enough performance. I guess you didn't check out the link (http://www.cbscores.com); current 12-core Xeon machines are closer to 75-80% faster than the fastest available over-clocked 6-core i7 chips. Cost/performance wise, i7 CPU's are very good CPU's. This new machine will be expensive, as all Mac Pro's have been (relative to the average PC), but I also think it will be an amazing performer. - Dennis Wilkins |
