So, I am going to be selling my late 2008 15" MacBook Pro this week to get a new 27" iMac and I just need some legitimate advice from those "in the know" on processors. I know other threads exist, but they don't have responses specific to me so what's the harm in one more? IMac :: Quad Core I5 OR Base Model Core I3? Jul 28, 2010

Just curious as to how much of an improvement in performance I would see upgrading my system as it states above, since my 2006 machine is 3 years old and getting close to the end of my apple care, figured I would trade it in and upgrade. If I had an extra $1k+ to buy a 12-core, I probably would've but $ is an object and what the best machine is is not obvious.Mac Pro :: Quad Core 2006 3.0GHz Versus 2.26GHz 8 Core 2009 Model? Aug 3, 2009 I don't expect my conclusion to be right for everyone, but perhaps this post will be relevant to another composer toiling over a similar decision. For composers looking to buy a new machine now, I think this debate between the current 8 and 6 core offerings will be a popular one.

The fewer RAM slots(4) in the 6 core is a drag and will incur a bit more expense buying larger chips in order to have lots of RAM the machine itself is $200 more than the 8 core. Posts by Nick Batzdorf, editor/publisher of Virtual Instruments Magazine, and Eric Persing also asserted the virtues of fast clock speeds over slower ones with more cores. MOTU said there are no known issues of now with the 6 core, but it is untested.

So, with DP7 hopefully accessing all 6 cores, it seems there should be a marginal difference in speed if any with the 8 core. The most comprehensive review of the new Mac Pro's at showed the only performance advantage the 8 core had over the 6 core in all its tests was with audio-tested with Logic Pro but LP9 has a glitch now where only 3 cores in the 6 core machine are functional and its test results were tainted as such. MOTU suggested more cores is better, but they were unfamiliar with the 6 core and in the end, I believed the big speed difference would compensate for 2 less cores. as well as talking to some great engineers I decided this would be the best machine for me to run DP7.2 for composing compared to the new 8 core 2.4ghz-the other machine I seriously considered. After reading all the online posts, reviews, bench marks, etc. Well, gentlemen, I just pulled the trigger on a 6 core, 3.33ghz.
