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. See the general CPU performance discussion as well as 2013 Mac Pro: How Many Cores for Your Workflow?.
