[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1643827, member: 56379"] I guess I'm surprised that you found a 6-core 2012 Mac Pro for the same price as a 2014 Mac-Mini. Of course I'm not sure which Mac-Mini you are talking about…but the top end unit does go for $999…which is getting pretty darn pricey for a Mac-Mini (in my opinion). But just for discussions sake…let's say you went with the 2.6ghz i5 2014 Mac-Mini for $699. CPU benchmark scores compared: - CPU benchmark score for the 2.6ghz 2014 Mac-Mini = 6626. - CPU benchmark score for a 2012 6-core 3.33ghz Mac Pro = 15541. As you can see a BIG BIG difference! Even the top end 2014 Mac-Mini (with an 3.0ghz i7 CPU upgrade can't touch this). Also…I'm pretty sure that the performance of the Radeon 5770 in the Mac Pro is better than the Iris Graphics in the Mac-Mini. Or at least very close (and you can always upgrade the video card in the Mac Pro later). So if you can get this 6-core Mac Pro for the same price (or close) as the 2014 Mac-Mini…DEFINITELY go for the Mac Pro!!!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
