Know what you mean. I've seen where someone did a review on software an hour after it was released. He did he did it because it was expensive so people would know before they bought it. I mentioned if he knew about major bugs that was already found that he missed before he gave before his stamped of approval. He just wanted the views.
Got a tip for us?

I think it might really be more of English speaking/not English speaking thing.

You can repeat it- and I'll long for it with you- but this wish has been made for 10+ years. Something along the lines of when pigs fly, hell freezes over, etc. seems to apply.
All CPU options have already shown up on Geekbench.... There was even an article here on macrumors about the 12 core one just a few weeks ago.
But it doesn't make grammatical or mathematical sense. A full stop (a.k.a. period) indicates decimals in maths. In literature, it indicates a stop, or the end of a sentence. A comma indicates that there's more to read.
Quite frankly, I don't know why people would write 1.000,1 instead of 1,000.1, especially if they're using numbers. You wouldn't do the same in maths, no matter what country you're from. It's completely off-the-wall.
so much for a stocking stuffer...
yes, I agree. in a year (?????) I think a lot of things can be tweaked (heat dissipation improvements, and evolution of video performance once 4k becomes established are two that are on my worry list), that will improve and impress.
Closest you'll get anytime soon is the next mini. Maybe someone will do a nice consumer level PCIe->Thunderbolt 2 video card enclosure for gaming. But Iris will be decent.
Actually, in countries like Germany, that's exactly what you'd do. To them, your system probably makes no sense.

Holy mother, I feel so ignorant right now
Upvoted you. Thanks for teaching this stubborn mule something new!

No problem. I studied German to be a translator in the military, and had to wrap my head around that myself. It wasn't easy to grasp at first.
As I remember, those were actually PCs using the same processor, not actual nMPs, But I could be wrong.
I might also be wrong, but it was my impression that no benchmarks were published for actual nMP tests, just the isolated CPU in another machine, which would tend to make me take those numbers with whole tablespoons of salt.
ETA: I would appear to be wrong. Never mind.

I think Apple wants the initial reviews to reflect a performance wow factor. 8 core plus D700 is probably the best all-around configuration for that.
Too bad the base model is outperformed by desktops costing under a grand. And don't tell me that workstation graphics cards make a difference for the majority of people including pros. They don't. The d300's and d500's are both slower than a mid range gtx560 from last generation.
Not to mention dell and HP have better workstations for less money.
