Quad vs. Octo shootout
Written by Jacob Head

And you thought a quad core was fast! Bare feats put the 8-core Mac Pro to the test verse the Quad core Mac Pro. Both Mac Pros are running at the same clock speed (3GHz), used the same 8 memory modules (total of 16GB) and identical models of hard drive. The 8-core had the Quadro FX 4500 graphics card while the 4-core had the Radeon X1900 XT. However, most of the testing was CPU intensive so it shouldn't create too much of a difference.
