Mac pro 4core vs 8core.

[kromekat]

not too much of a difference...

Depends on your point of view I think - that extra 45% in Cinema can make a hell of a difference on a deadline.

If I had a 4-core,I probably wouldn't consider going to the 8-core at all, but for me, going from a dual 2.5Ghz G5 to the 8-core, has given me 4x the speed advantage! :)

for rendering purposes, 2 four cores would be faster and more efficient.

The 8 core Mac Pro is indeed a dual quad-core. And the quad core Mac Pro is a dual dual-core.

what I meant was two seperate quad core boxes as opposed to one 8 core box.
