4 quad vs 8 quad
quazzar (10 pencils) | Wed, 2009-03-11 21:32I'm about to buy a Mac Pro and I was wondering, how much better is a 8-quad processor over a four quad. Obvisiously its better, but is it worth the extra money, or is it really diminishing returns?
As someone who does a lot of video-editing, image-editing, 3D work will I notice a considerable difference between the 8-core and 4-core?

Yes, in video rendering and 3D rendering times you will notice a significant difference in performance.
For the stuff you want to do, especially.
As a web/graphic designer, I'd love an 8 core machine. But my needs are pretty well met with my quad (except when working with big PS or ID files).
Always buy as much machine as you can afford. You'll be happy you did.
