[..YouTube..] I am not a IT technician. So, will someone please tell me why Apple went from a 3.2 ghz processor to 2.66 ghz and 2.93 ghz Nehalem processor? I understand the CPU is not the only hardware component to make the computer operate faster. But, don’t you want to have the fastest CPU, which performance is enhance with the latest advance technology incorporated into the motherboard? Or is there some other standard to consider about CPU/processors that can be explained to me?
[..YouTube..] Architecture is also something to be considered. The 2.93 Nehalems outperformed the 3.2 Harpertowns on all counts. To think more radically, would you rather have a 3.0Ghz Pentium 4 processor or a 2.3Ghz Nehalem processor? (Assume both had the same number of cores.)
[..YouTube..] like bob said, it’s all in the architecture.
The nehalem is new, and (if i’m not mistaking) it’s 42nm, which is very small.
and intel promises that when the processor becomes smaller, the number of cores will be 2x more.
it’s like comparing Intel and AMD if both have 3GHz, the intel will outperform AMD because of the architecture.
[..YouTube..] A 1.6GHz core 2 duo would OBLITDERATE a 3GHz Pentium 4 in just about any benchmark, the reason for this is architectural efficiency. The frequency is lower, but the instructions per clock (IPC) is higher, so overall there is a net gain in performance. Its the same reason Athlon 64’s way back when deystroyed P4’s depite being clocked slower.
[..YouTube..] Thanks for the information concerning the difference in processor architecture. I had an inclination the noticeable performance gains had something impart to do with the way the processor was designed, but wasn’t technical savvy enough to comprehend it right away. I had to go back to apple’s web site and reread the stats on the Nehalem processor to understand the technology improvement.
[..YouTube..] Can you show like you using the basic features of the mac pro like iChat and Mail so everyone can see how fast it is? I know this may sound silly but I have searched everywhere and I can’t find a video like it. By the way thank you for letting everyone post requests for comments because not many people are that kind you are a nice person.
[..YouTube..] No, I already owned a 22″ Samsung monitor.
[..YouTube..] do a geekbench on it
[..YouTube..] oh you’ll be using that keyboard…. lol
[..YouTube..] haha i loved the fed-ex bit
[..YouTube..] Score using 32Bit Geekbench was 11600.
[..YouTube..] Nice! This machine is amazing!
[..YouTube..] Yay, I’m not the only one who says OS SEX!
[..YouTube..] Heh. Kind of impossible not to say it. Oh-ess-ex
[..YouTube..] very nice machine, congratulations! you should put up a video of your set up!
[..YouTube..] If you pronounce it correctly, SEX won’t come out because TEN and SEX sound nothing alike..
[..YouTube..] any 64-bit score?

[..YouTube..] 45nm ther bud.

[..YouTube..] Do you need those 8 cores for some professional work, or are you just playing with it?
And more importantly, do you trick your friends into thinking you have 16 cores (8 cores with HT will look like 16 to the operating system) ? lol.
p.s for some reason i don’t get e-mail notifications for reply’s anymore, can someone reply to this comment just to verify this?

[..YouTube..] Did u get an email?
[..YouTube..] Nope, between youtube and hotmail, somethings wrong.
Thanks though.
[..YouTube..] ok.
[..YouTube..] Lucky man
[..YouTube..] So, what did you end up doing with the keyboard and mouse?
[..YouTube..] Nothing. It’s just sitting in a closet to be used as a backup set in the case that my current set spontaneously combusts.
[..YouTube..] wot du you use it 4?all that power

you are a nice person.
[..YouTube..] Anything :D… Plus you can edit it like a PC almost… cant do that any other mac!
