I'd love more cores but I'm still stuck with raw clock speed until I get more mutlithreaded applications.

Interesting to see Kentsfield lead the gaming benchmarks.
 
Isn't that the standard Intel CPU class in the same bracket as the Core 2 Duos etc? Oh well, I see what you mean :).
It does fall under the X####-Series of Extreme processors. So it's not a Xeon but a Core 2 Quad. :rolleyes:

You get unlocked multipliers for fun OC times.
 
i was gonna wait out for the 8 core Mac Pro's... but i couldn't cuz my G5 died.:(

even tho this benchmark is not official from a real 8 core MP, at least i don't feel too bad getting a 3GHz MP for now. thanks!
