Bearcat Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 http://reviews.cnet.com/4531-10921_7-66637...l?tag=cnetfd.mt Well so much for Jas' new mac pro. Its already out of date. Not Really, JaS just needs to save up for 2 processors, and do the same swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trav1085 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 It's still fast anyways. I don't really understand dual-core though, is a 2.66GHz Dual Core processor actually 5 or something GHz as it's two processors in one? Or is that the actual speed. As if Apple thinks 2.6GHz is fast I have a low-end Dell that has 2.8GHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 multiple cores have different affects on speed depending on what you're doing. if you're performing two different tasks (like playing music and encoding a movie), then dual core will be way faster than a single. if you're just playing a game, it depends on whether it has been coded to take advantage of multiple cores. a single, faster core might be better than two cores that aren't quite as fast. and the clock speed for multiple cores is given in the speed for each core, so you actually have two 2.6 in that case. they would be way faster than the 2.8.
