Hello everyone,
My work has me doing some HD video editing and it looks like I'll be getting some money in my budget for a machine to replace take the place of my dual-core MBP has my primary editing tool. I'll probably have around $3000 to spend and, given that there's no firm answer as to when/if the Mac Pro line up will be updated, I wanted to get some opinions on which machine would give me better results: the current iMac 3.4 i7 quad core or something like the 8-core Mac Pro.
The 8-core Mac Pro has a higher score on Geekbench, but I have reservations about buying a product that came out nearly two years ago.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks.
