RMBP Beat My 8 core 2.93 mac pro

[jb502]

I picked up a low end RMBP from best buy in omaha yesterday. Today I figured I would try it out against my mac pro. I loaded up the same HD video on both and hit the share video button. The RMBP finished the export a few seconds faster than the mac pro. I loaded up the photoshop speed test, and they finished within 1 second of each other.

Yeah looks like most MPs are gonna be slower seeing as how they are so dated.

Is urs a 2010?

Nice to hear the RMbp doing so well.

Now if that MSI GUSII ever comes out... Might displace MPs even more.

Does your MP have a SSD?

6 GB/S Sata vs 3 GB/S Sata

It's a 2009 8 core 2.93 with 16 gigs if ram and a gtx 285. No ssd. I put it in Craigslist last wek.

right..... compile some MPI code that is properly threaded and tuned. those 8 cores will stomp on the the rmbp

Maybe. But with the software that we actually use everyday, I think the rmbp is gonna make Mac pro look very bad.

When/if Apple gives the Mac Pro a real update, what will it's Geekbench scores likely be?

to each his own, i compile my own code that i use everyday, ffmpeg, vlc, etc. things that you do with apps like final cut, i hack ffmpeg scripts.
