I read some speed tests for Mac Pro 2.26GHz 8-Core, 2.66GHz Quad-Core, but mostly they used Photoshop or video software for comparisons. For the money, I can also buy a previous generation refurbished 2.8GHz 8-Core. So which one is the fastest for DP6? And which one has the best value?
BTW, I wonder why iMac does not use a Quad-Core CPU? I can understand Apple uses similar laptop parts to drive the cost down, but Quad-Core CPU is not very expensive and it's popular in PC.
Mac Pro 2.26GHz 8-Core vs.2.66GHz Quad vs previous 8-Core?

The 2.66 Quad (the new one) is quicker than all of them untill software takes advantage or multi core processes. Mathmatica gets a better bench with the octals because it's written for muliple cores. The new archetecture of the Nehalem uses the faster DDR3 ram more efficiently too.

Thanks! But I read some of the posts, someone said DP runs on all 8 cores. Doesn't that mean it take advantages of the extra 4 cores?
