I am hugely amused by the posters who seek/demand comparisons w/ PCs. Very defensive folks…they clearly do not appreciate the dramatic differences across the entire range of using a computer…otherwise they would be on a MAC for all the obvious reasons. And perhaps they are right…why would one compare Van Gogh w/ a mechanical engineer?

In case you didn’t notice, they are comparing mac models…if we cared to look at pc benchmarks, we would go to a pc site.

I replace my original Mac Pro 2.66 quad with the top of line i7 27″ imac and so far I’m thrilled! It’s definitely faster than my Mac Pro…although to be fair that Mac Pro was over 4 years old. Judging by the benchmarks the i7 iMac is faster than ALL quad-core Mac Pro’s, which is peace of mind for me. So far I LOVE my new iMac and it appears to be plenty powerful to keep me happy. Now if I could buy a RAID array with a thunderbolt port I’d be one happy camper!

Maybe it should be nice (fair) to compare the benchmarks of the Mac with the ones of some windows machines…

The new Macbook Pro are also right up there in the 10000 and 11000 range
