Now everything is clearer. In brief Audio Softwares (see the note posted by Tesselator of Steinberg) still does not make good on HT systems and ekwipt table clearly shows the superiority of the Mac Pro 2008 ... at this point, my choice would the 3.2Oct refurb at 3700eur!! I tried to find a new 2.8Oct, but are now unavailable! Refurb products are reliable? I saw that you can apply the extension AppleCare and this point agrees to buy and also the case for 3 years remaining quiet.... I think and i hope to make the right choice!
Thank you at all for your valuable suggestions
but i think this will change, there's no way apple will let their new computers be slower than their older ones,
wont be slower, but wont be significantly faster either, and i very much doubt that quad 2.93 will be faster than 2.8x8 for audio.but i think this will change, there's no way apple will let their new computers be slower than their older ones, a software update on logic will fix this for sure, it's just a matter of time.
I think the Quad 2.93 is the best choice unless you have money to kill
Changed what i'd buy:
MacPro Quad 2.93
Intel X-25M 80Gb SSD
ATI Radeon 4970
Seagate 7200.12 500Gb Samples Drive
Logic Studio
wont be slower, but wont be significantly faster either, and i very much doubt that quad 2.93 will be faster than 2.8x8 for audio.
to the OP:
congrats![]()
When logic is able to handle HT, i think it will pawn the older 2.8 octos,
I don't. Nope, not at all. Also I think the question is not when but if. This issue hasn't been resolved in the past 6 or 7 years on PeeCee. Bios options have had to be used to turn off HT. And if Apple offers the same solution (and I think they might have to) then not only will they "not be significantly faster" they will actually be near identical to clock/core comparisons from 2008 or previous.
