"Earlier this week Apple released updated Mac Pros that use Intel's new Penryn processors. Also new is the fact that the standard Mac Pro configuration now comes with eight (instead of four) cores. Of course, what I've been wondering (as I sit here and think about getting a new Mac Pro) is how does the new standard eight-core Mac Pro perform compared to the old high-end Mac Pro? I've gathered Geekbench 2 results for both Mac Pros to find out."

Which IDE are you refering to?
Presumably any which you can configure to do “make -j16” in a subshell.
(I've also got a feeling that Xcode supports parallel compilation using whatever resources you have available—it would make sense, given that it has a load of support for distributed compilation too)

Nah, you just need a proper IDE that compiles on multiple CPUs at the same time. Then you can easily keep 16 cores busy.
