It might seem unfair to compare a new Mac Pro with more RAM against an old Mac Pro with less RAM. Intel Xeon X5365 3.00GHz (Eight cores) Apple updated the iMac with Intel’s more efficient Penryn processor in April 2008, which has a larger Level 2 cache and includes the SSE4.1 instruction set.Intel Xeon E5462 2.80GHz (Eight cores) We tested the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 and the ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics cards from the 2009 Mac Pro in the 800MHz and 667MHz Mac Pro with varying success.Of course, what I’ve been wondering (as I sit here and think about getting a new Mac Pro) is how does the new standard eight-core Mac Pro perform compare to the old high-end Mac Pro?

The Air was originally positioned above the previous MacBook line as a premium ultraportable. Earlier this week Apple released updated Mac Pros that use Intel’s new Penryn processors. The Intel-based MacBook Air is a discontinued line of notebook computers developed and manufactured by Apple Inc.
