So realistically, using 5 cores at 2.93Ghz is about the same as 4 cores on the 3.33GHz. Thus, on the 8 core model, 4.5 cores must be utilized just to achieve the same performance, and that ignores the overhead of more CPU cores, software limitations, etc. The 3.33Ghz model has a 13% clock-speed advantage over the 8-core 2.93GHz.
The 8-core model is not available at 3.33GHz, but a quad-core model is available. The fastest 8-core Mac Pro to be had as of May 2010 is the Mac Pro Nehalem 2.93GHz (see the in-depth review). This special report takes a photographer’s viewpoint on the Apple Mac Pro, asking whether eight cores is really better than four.
