Star Becnhmark: New Mac Pro
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 11th Jan 2008 11:57 UTC, submitted by anonymous
Benchmarks "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."

No, but who likes to wait? What if you had to wait 30 secs for you cell phone to turn on?

Me? Whilst it is loading I can put a pot of coffee on, have breakfast, read the newspaper - there are lots of things that can be done - unless of course you're unable to multitask.
