Star Benchmarks: the Unofficial Eight-Core Mac Pro
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 15th Nov 2006 20:10 UTC, submitted by Governa
Benchmarks "We might be ahead of Apple's product release cycle, and we've probably violated our Mac Pro's warranty, but we just had to see what the Apple Mac Pro could do when populated with a pair of Intel's brand-new quad-core Xeon 5355 processors," Daniel A. Begun reports for CNET. They conclude: "Unless you do work normally relegated to high-end workstations, perform massively multitasking workloads, or just want the bragging rights, eight cores is definitely overkill - at least for now."

It's rare for me that there's one show on at a time that I want to watch. I'm not alone.
