| 28-01-08 / 00:21 : MacPro 4 Core 2,8 Ghz : the best choice (cjed) | Macworld completed its benchs of new MacPro with results from the 8 core 3Ghz model and from the 4 core 2,8 Ghz model (built to order by removing one processor). Then we can compare the 4 core 2,8 Ghz (2049 euros) with the base configuration (8 core 2,8 Ghz, 2499 euros). As hopped, the 8 core model is only 7% faster on average, and notably doesn't speed games or common applications (gains are showed only in specific 3D applications and some encoding formats).
Moreover the base Radeon HD 2600 XT of new MacPro is far more less powerful than the Nvidia GeForce 7300 found in the old generation. So the 180 euros for the GeForce8800 GT option are a must have, and not overpriced this time (2229 euros so for that configuration). | | | Comments | | Write a comment | |
