The all-around merit of the 8-core 3.3 GHz CPU can be visualized below via the green line at top: for 1-3 cores used, it offers at least as good a performance as the 4/6-core CPUs, and then extends that performance out to 8 cores at a level well above the 10 core or 12 core CPUs. For such work, an 8-core running at 3.3 GHz (Turbo Boost 4.0 GHz) is better than even a 6-core at 3.7 GHz, because there are a variety of tasks that use more than 6 cores, including things like sharpening that makes heavy use of all 12 CPU cores in a 2010 Mac Pro.Īnd yet the 3.3 GHz 8-core CPU is just as fast for lightly-threaded tasks as the 6-core options (the 3.7 GHz 6-core edges it out barely for the 4/5/6 cores case, but the 8-core adds two more CPU cores over the 6-core). Here at MPG, primary use of a Mac Pro is for intensive digital photography work.
The 8-core 3.3 GHz is one of several highly attractive options. OWC offers more CPU options at a cost savings for upgrading the 2013 Mac Pro CPU and memory.
