  • wow, the xenon is better because it costs more....i've got a bridge in texas i would like to sell you.

  • The professionals you know are stupid. You can buy a professional i7 chip. the PC workstations you can build yourself can get you a better workstation for a lower price.

    You do not know anything about PCs so stop talking about it. Hell I can make a Hackentosh computer that is better than the best mac pro apple can send you for $400 cheaper.

  • windows is better because we can game and macs have inferior parts for the pricepoint

  • All I can say is. You Mac can suck my gaming pc's cock

  • damn.....someone is on their period. hey fuck face, get a life. PS. ITS A FUCKING COMPUTER!!!!!

  • well that's a beautiful piece of machine, yeah they have tool less design, Well the problem is they are expensive and they have proprietary design, unlike a custom pc with the same specs they use industry standard form factor called ATX and Micro-ATX and what if the motherboard of that machine fails, can you buy a replacement board for that? Sure you can buy a replacement only at HP Itself which is fucking expensive, on a custom PC we can buy just any brand of motherboard and put it in!

  • Buy a x79 chipset setup that costs $5000 and there is the computer that will kick any macs ass

  • who cares witch is better its personnal pref

  • Comment removed

  • hey apple fag gimme 5000 dollars and ill build a fuckin pc that woops just about any mac on the market

    windows machines can run mac os 10 easly cause its apple tryes to make it so only mac machines can run it.

    but windows is a open os and lets just about any machin on the market run it.

    if microsoft relly wanted only windows machines to run it macs would ever stand a chanse.

    tell me 1 thing that macs can do that windows machines cant do better ?

    fuckin rednecks and ther macs

  • "Cheap ass shit" It's EXCACTLY the same thats in your Mac!

  • So he uses ONE example in the PC world in terms of price to judge ALL of the PC's?

  • Implying that a workstation is about the case and how many cables you have.

    implying that HP ISN'T overpriced.

    Fuck off

  • Ok im going to half to give you one thing.........................­............your stupid, there you win one thing in your life. well o could get a case just like that and get my own parts in it dum ass.

  • The workstation i7 chip is also a consumer chip, idiot. Any chip a company can put into a premade system is one that you can buy and install yourself.

  • @ii69HD Also, Xeon is also a consumer chip, you make me feel like punching you in the face whenever you talk. Btw, yes you can build a custom system MUCH BETTER than this. What? 2 quad Xeon CPUs? You can custom build 2 Hex-core Xeons on a dual CPU motherboard such as the EVGA SR-2. Not to mention this isn't watercooled and greatly inhibits long term use due to heat and headroom for overclocking. MAC Pro does not compare. To put it in simple red-neck terms for you, that would be 24 cores, OWNED.

  • Why do you seriously think that Windows is so shitty?!

    I had Macs and Windows PCs, I never had bluescreens or kernel panic (unless I FORCED it).

    Also, Mac OS X has the same kind of speed than Windows x64 (OS X is also x64 by default).

    The window-management with the Dock, Exposé and all the other tools might be slightly better, but well.

    Mac OS X = stable (unless YOU brake it)

    Windows = stable (unless YOU brake it)

    Difference = design concept

    The times then windows was unstable are over-

  • Only reason you would need a xeon version of nehalem is because it has support for ecc memory which stands for "Error Correction Memory." It can be deployed in business situation for example if a bank is doing transactions, they need that ECC to check for errors so that way your deposit of money does not show another number. ECC adds more latency to between the memory and CPU so some performance is lost than say the consumer version of nehalem.

  • "adobe pc"....rofl

    you are sooo right! a pc is about being "pretty"! gayboy! lol

  • Windows 7 has less infections than Mac OS Lion, believe it.

  • Ya'll niggers posting in a troll thread.

  • also, an operating system is only as secure as you are smart, I use minimal security software and I've never had any of my personal information jeopardized in any way and I've never been subjected to any viruses or malicious software

  • Got my champagne ready on ice for when Steve kicks the bucket. Anyone else?

  • @angrymarketing5 Getting a party together as we speak.

  • you could easily build a xeon workstation from newegg with a beautiful case that would be far cheaper than a mac, then you could put your shitty OS X on it if you want to

  • Comment removed

  • lol he's not showing us a mac pro becuase we'll blow it off. i'm blowing it off because he's an idiot.

  • Why are you so angry?

    Oh and by the way - macs are extremely CONSUMER. They dropped their Xserve line because *no one bought them*. Only some designers and video editors (those who don't use Avid) use Mac pros - which are desperately in need of an update.

    Your "still a pile of shit cuz it runs windows" line gives you away as just a sad little Apple fanboy., Get a life.

  • The people that liked this video are his 191 other youtube accounts

  • When he says i would show yuu inside my mac but yuu might blow it off about pc can do this and pc can do that. I think what he means is I CANT OPEN IT BECAUSE APPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH BY THINKING PEOPLE WILL COPY THERE IDEAS!

  • LOL it doesn't help when the guy trying to do a comparison is dumb as fuck and biased towards mac.

  • My alienware compared to a mac pro, is chuck norris.

  • BTW, it all come down to what motherboard you use and the case.

    you sad: wow! you can have up to 4 hard drives! well my case can have up to 8 hard drives and 12 RAM strips and 4 GPU's and the case was 80$ and the motherboard was 150$ you are so ignorant

  • You only look at the outside you stupid fuck...

  • a professional is marked by the quality of his work, not by his computer.

  • Lol own pc fanboys my ass. You get owned every time someone watches your videos

  • My $3,000 PC with the specs of 8 gigs of ram, 2x ATI Radeon 6970s, Intel Core i7 2600k Processor and 1 tb internal hardrive is better than any mac you will find.

  • @1337Vint HELL YEAH DUDE! I think he's just angry because maybe he got trolled by people with so awesome pc's AND DEFINITELY NOT A MAC OR AN HP! ROFL!

  • you know, you could always uninstall windows and put linux on the work station. thats what i would do.

  • Were not going to masturbate to how nice the inside of a fuckin computer case looks it's all about the hardware, and what you see on the outside

  • It's called get a case that looks nice

  • The core i7 1366 socket has the same architecture as the Xeon 1366 socket, just look on intel's website compare the 2.8ghz i7 1366 to the Xeon 2.8ghz socket 1366 Retard. Seriously you can convince yourself all you want that apple is superior to Pc, but seriously stop so biased towards PC and please for the love of god STOP SUCKING STEVE JOBS DICK 

  • "i'm not gonna own some generic, custom pc" holy oxymoron batman!

  • well, you are retarded. I built a 500$ PC that is faster than the 2400$ mac pro. It is very possible to build a faster and better PC than ANY mac you can get.

  • He is both wrong and right. He is right that the average i7 is not equal to xeon processors. But the reason why mist professionals don't build themselves is that they don't have the time or need to customize completely they use it for how it works. It is untrue that you cannot reproduce the SPECS of Professional Rigs for under 1k but you can still purchase the same exact parts except the case. You can purchase professional dual processor motherboards. This person and many are wrong you cannot d

  • LOL then this "professional redneck mac fan boy" have never seen my Alien running 3d rendering then.

  • I am an avid Mac user - I have been for years.

    Saying this, I would just like to say that what you say is Bull.

    'that honestly think, they can go to new-egg and buy an i7 and some parts and throw together and get the same thing as a Mac Pro or any other workstation.'

    You sir, are wrong - a computer is just parts chucked together - that is EXACTLY what it is.

    Any person with good knowledge of building PCs can easily create a powerful PC that can out-do 90% of products that you can buy from shops.

  • @HippehMac More like 99%+. Since shops normally just don't put out computers costing 10k

  • Lol, Im a Mac and a PC user, I like my Mac better because of the OS, but anyway, this guy should start a hate group or a cult because this is just to angry for just hating on a computer brand! Why don't you just sit back and laugh at all the people and let them figure it out for themselves if thats you think about them.

  • This guy is so full of shit.

  • basicly in 2011 the macbook pro is getting copied by sony but different design sony or acer is also trying to copy the imac this is trying to copy the mac pro samsung is trying to copy the iphone and blackberry, samsung and some others are trying to copy the ipad fuuuUUck dont they have their own ideas to do

    oh and also thet is becouse apple is the best... i dont care if i make a pc fanboy cry waah go buy a mac and see for your self. oh and apple is expensive for 2reasons quality and performance

  • @badwolfshamma Well sadly your hero's "innovation" of the mac book air came from a 2003 sony vaio x505.

    Sadly all your products are made in china,to make matters worst,ITS MADE BY FOXCONN!Foxconn is known for its WORST QUAILTY of motherboards!Haha,quality.The only quality that i experience from a Mac is the OS,thats all.Keep ignoring the fact,just keep ignoring it.

  • I've had PC's all my life. My HP Touchsmart just crapped out on me and I went to purchase my first Mac. It's only a 21.5" iMac with 2.5GHz quad-core i5 and I have to say, I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER PC IN MY LIFE.

  • well in the Mac community, we have configuration too, i admit, perhaps not as much as PCs, but we're happy with it. Mac users are happy with what they have because of the computer experience and the advanced OS. yes, hardware is overpriced on the Mac for base models ONLY. as for adding RAM and such things, it's actually cheaper on a Mac. please don't offend something just because you can't afford it, it's childish. i wish Mac haters could just see the light.

  • EVGA SR-2 with an OCZ PCI-E SSD>mac pro.

  • Are you stupid? o no your a mac user (same).

    I have no idea what your blabbing, i have seen custom builds that would floor any mac for 1/4 th the price. There are custom cases that would floor all mac's. It seems your not well informed..

  • you fucking jerk men you are paying For the same components higher price and for a fucking os you are paying dubble of the price

    

  • by the fucking way mac cant even fucking support 3d

  • you fucking idiot The mac fanboy soilder or whatever you call your fucking idiot selfisht self mac fucikng sucks where s the fucking point on letting someone else building your computer you should rallt try a pc you fucking gay losser try work you your own not just fucking admiring some hight price sheet thing. i wonder have you ever played. Ups not becouse you are on a fucking mac. Well well you can work and play on the same time on the pc while on mac you only fuck your self working

  • @pcandmacturorials Typical PC Fanboy behavior - "fuck" "fuckin idiot" "fuckin jerk""fuckin gay". Do you know what is much much worse than a Mac Fanboy? An Anti Fanboy just as you are.

  • Pros build their own pcs. It allows you to get what you want out of a PC. Oh and all processors are consumer really... Xeon can be bought by anyone.

  • Im a Professional Footballer, but i dont use a Mac?

  • why is every1 so hostile lol all hes saying is if you want a good computer mac or pc, its gonna be expensive and around the same price range for both. the mac os is a lot more stable, if you read history mac used to be droopy like windows so they ditched everything and started from scratch, and built there os from unix. and i am not even a mac user, im on a pc with windows 7

  • you sound like a redneck ?

  • BOXX!!!

  • "ay BOZO!!! Did u ever open a mac before?

  • this guy is fucking retarded what a annoying fucking moron cancer fucking dumb asshole

  • first of all you stupid ass you dont have any idea about pc

    and you talk about mac i did not see any mac that have tesla gpu card so how you call it pro

    what you have max is 5870 in your fucking mac pro

    and what i have in my pc is 5970 x2 in crossfire

    so go and play with your self befor you talk about gadgets

  • I can build you a Dual Xeon 64GB RAM PC using nothing but parts from Newegg that's going to make your hyper-expensive Mac look like a chicken on crutches. You know nothing you stupid ass fuck!

  • You are not pro. Thats for sure. You know a shit about pc's and workstations . And windows 7 is great OS .

  • @thekyriakos no linux is great =) and free

  • evga sr-2 2 cpus

  • I love how he talks about easy component changes being a selling point of the workstation. isn't another selling point the fact that it's put together by professionals? seems a bit contradictory that you rave about how it's made ready for you by professionals and when you want to take it apart yourself it's easy to do so! wat

  • what a hillbilly! XD

  • i know the imac is a desktop pc but i want a real desktop pc because the mac pro is a workstation but what i want is a desktop that looks like the mac pro just with i7 processor that can be upgradable and i honestly in someways hate my pc because i have to use so much money on fans and such bullsihit yeah it's powerful and all that and i build it myself

  • Comment removed

  • @s1y1n1 ha ha Do you think you are funny dude?Get a life man.He made a video about macs and pcs ok you dont like just dislike and leave

  • were all god dam hypocrites and ur a god dam idiot,

  • A) Ok, so if this HP computer is just a pile of shit because it runs Windows, then Apple computers are shit too. They can run Windows natively. Hell, that HP is very capable of running OS X. On reason it doesn't is because Apple doesn't want other manufacturers to use OS X on their machines. Although I don't agree with that, it's Apple's product so they can do with it as they please. But if you were to run OS X on that HP, it'd run similarly to a Mac desktop.

  • "This is the first workstation on the PC side thats even come close to Apple, that even has a clue of whats going on"

    Im going to guess that you didnt even do any research, or even a simple google search before making that statement, did you?

  • Dude stop talking shit of windows, it's just so much better than the damn OSX

  • what about the AMD Opteron

  • MY LAPTOP COST 500 pounds and its good but im getting an acer predator wich is 2 grand

  • that pc is about 2 grand maybe less in UK so yeah thats wat an acer predator g7750 is but i wat acer predator for GAMING MOSTELY CRYSIS

  • windows are fast if you get the acer predator g7750 gtfo

  • you cant make a gayintosh without getting your ass sued what a redneck

  • i 7 is i7

  • i7 was created for PC and macs arent the COMPUTERS TO IDIOT

  • is this guy just a hick or wat becuse i think hes stupid

  • and this is what we call a Fanboy that takes technology too personally.

  • How about you get your facts right before you try to make a video.

  • 1. You're using HP to represent all PCs

    2. You don't seem to own a PC

    3. HP's are less expensive for the same, if not more, specs (even though you said they aren't- they are)

  • @NickVocal 3 : That might be because they're using a shitty system - Windows.

  • @NooN824 Admitted, Vista sucks. OS X looks and runs nice and usually better than Windows, but Windows 7 is fantastic.

  • @NickVocal Yes, Windows 7 is a big improvement from microsoft. It's kind of like Macintosh :)>

  • @NooN824 I disagree, but okay. I think Windows 7 and the fact that its about 1/3 or half less expensive makes the PC a better choice

  • @NickVocal You should really try Macintosh for like a year, because you would see how great Mac is. And if you're not convinced you could always do a Windows partition.

  • @NooN824 I have used Macintosh (a lot- enough to say I know plenty about them) and honestly, they're great computers. I just think they're too pricey for what they come with. Plus, they don't come with everything I need like a large HD space and a better sound card. Apple doesn't give thaty kind of stuff for under $3,000. I don't know about you, but I cannot afford that type of thing... I can get a customized PC that fits all of my needs and runs perfectly for one third of the cost.

  • @NickVocal What's wrong with the audio processors in Macs? They're good enough for DJ's and audio engineers during live gigs and so on.

  • @NickVocal 7 is nice, it's the best WIndows to date (the most "pure" goes to 2k though, no bloat!). But, it's not as nice an experience as OSX, at least to me. Windows is still plagued by decades of UI elements that linger throughout the system. One panel will look like this, another like that, with very little consistency and lots of pretty damn redundant stuff that just makes things confusing for the less techie. It's an improvement yes, but it's still no OSX.

  • Apple sucks, go head over and play chess on your Wac.

  • Lol you guys don't get it. Let's see in 5 years how many Pc users and how many Mac users. Only poor familys buys PC because they doesn't have enough money to buy Good Quality. So let's wait 5 years and see

  • @NooN824 im not poor...2000bucks will build you one hell of a comptuer

  • @NooN824 WELL MY MOM is getting me a 2 grand pc so dont go there idiot i useed a make and there g a y

  • those cheap ass parts is what apple is using except they up the price and make you believe that what your getting is better even though its the same thing... your such a dumb redneck

  • Pc has better EVERYTHING this has been known for years retard

  • @steamingpoopfart yeah PC'S are way better than gayintosh and pcs can cost triple the price than gayintosh like acer predator g7750 costs 2 grand pc are better :D

  • Dude, just calm down. you don't have to crusade around all the time. Sure i like Mac better than PC but hey it's all good. PC fanboys love tweeking the hell out of their machines. Do I think it's inane? I think it's a childish waste of time. Do I give a shit. No sir. Lhot'se says: "Those who know don't speak; those who speak don't know." Just take some benadryl and give it a rest.

  • @lozoft9 soo i guess the people who tweak cars are also being childish and wasting time

  • @lozoft9 my mom is getting me a 2 grand pc wich lets you overclock it without destorying things acer predator FTW

  • your a psycho

  • I cant WAIT untill I can afford a custom pc, they are WAY more powerful than any computer bought at a store.

    and btw, im loling at this mac fanboy who snaped when he found out he lost thousands of dolors.

  • @waterdragon1908 no no no there not there just funner to do acer predator g7750 are powerful you can overclock them without hurting the system :D but wen you make a pc you want to do it every wekk its a hoby

  • man this guy is completely brainwashed, such a mac fanboy rofl.

  • Its a simple fact that all mac users will think they are smarter than PC users, when in reality, it is they who are the victims of being moronic. Learn about computers before you start shouting stupid shit to youtube.

    Outdated hardware, pathetic video cards (yes that's right, it can't even use the newest nvidia graphics cards....some people will say oh no big deal, but if these are supposed to be better for editing, then why can't a mac do open GL rendering at even a third of a pc? sad....)

  • Mac uses outdated Hardware for double the price.

  • @jacobi321l yeah yeah they do freind

  • O man you are saying "visual" vs "performace"? BEAUTIFULL? Go see some antec,thermaltake full towers! THEY ARE AWESOME! And yes mac is made from "consumer" chip's so yes a normal pc is the same as a mac! You are refering to the "DESIGN" that you can make your own! I prefer to build my own hardware suiting my needs and than i get better performace than any mac! And i use linux red had, osx and play games on win 7! Yes i boot 3 os's and love it! you lack knowledge about hardware.

  • "im not gonna use some little generic pc.."

    Says the one using a fucking mac!

    Generic shit.

    Customized PC's are NOT generic.

  • @AllTechTuts Look at him! He does not even look and speak like a professional! LOL! And he loves to babble about generic and i7! He does not understand that parts are not generic! LOL! AND HE USES A MAC WHICH IS GENERIC JUST LIKE THE HP HE SHOWED! BTW! Like the comment!

  • Luk Who's Tah-kin! Giddyup!

  • could u honestly say that if u were a guy that did not work professionally with this shit, that u would pay a huge f*cking amout of money for a MAC that can't do shit for a normal user. or would u buy a cheap and well functioning PC

    and btw, "this would be my first PC purchase" ur own words. so the first thing u bought was a mac? well that means that u never really experienced a PC.

    and u also say that u pay for good design, well ok mac beats PC in design. BUT WHO THE HELL PAYS FOR JUST DESIGN?!

  • ARE YEW A REDKNECK?? and fuck u for ur negativity.

  • you sound like a frikin bogan 

  • Hehe this guy don't get it, Macs can't do anything, Well let's be fair,

    1. They can make videos songs etc like a PC.

    2.They can't really play games, I.E COD, BF2 and a lot more, (Valve are making games for it)

    3.Cost, Hell the the sun and the Sky they Rip you off!

    I got my PC for a 1000UK 4 gigs of RAM core 2 quad and a Geforce 9800, and This was in 2006-9 So a fair bit ago

    4. more Blar blar blar then some stuff about Macs blar blar then some stuff about Windows blar blar then Linux Lar te dar.

  • @ThoseL4Dfreaks Why compare a Mac to a custom build? By the same token you're saving a lot of money compared to getting those exact same components already put together by someone like Dell or HP or something, so you're just arguing against OEM's not just Macs. Macs also come with OSX. I paid good money NOT to have to use Windows every day, because it just infuriates me as a power user with all it's half-assedness and workarounds.

  • window 7 is good it an operation system that makes it easy to find and organize thing

  • are you serious?

  • the fuck is your problem with windows? windows 7 is extremely good and all i hear from u is fuck this its shit coz its windows oh yeah its just as bad as vista, can i get some numbers out of your redneck head?

  • @mechadax i haz windows 7 Ultimate and it OWNS and IT CAN HANDLE ANYTHING

  • lol you don't know ANYTHING about editing. What a dumb ass.

  • "THE i7 IS A CONSUMER CHIP."

    GUESS WHAT, THE 1366 XEONs ARE THE SAME CHIP, JUST WITH BETTER BINNING.

    GET STEVE JOBS DICK OUT OF YOUR ASS.

    EPIC FACEPALM.

  • @fishrfine And you know the only reason high binned XEON chips are usefully better?

    Overclocking.

    Yet a mac cant even be overclocked. LOL. Paying $1,000's more for a chip that is no better other than higher binning. EPIC FACEPALM X2.

  • @MasterNaruto1214

    AMEN

    Made on an i7 950, overclocked to 4 ghz.

    From what I understand, xeons also have some power saving tech on them, but they are, for all means and purposes, i7s.

  • @fishrfine Very nice i7,i hear they make 4Ghz EASILY!

  • First, you sure do talk a lot about whats professional and whats not professional for someone who claimed they were not a pro. I guess that makes you a professional hypocrite.

    Second, your knowledge of Xeon and i7 CPU's is severely lacking. Why dont you head on over to the Intel site and read about them. Both the i7 and Xeon is the same identical chip. Every spec is identical, with the exception of QPI for dual socket configurations, and ECC RAM. You're clearly a victim of marketing.

  • @FoodMoTron3k He is a victim of idiocy and incest.

  • @FoodMoTron3k

    Agree i was laughing listening to him mac fan boy cant handle that you can build your own pc and use osx on it if you want to!

  • @TalesOfWar For a 24/7 server that is running your worldwide business ECC RAM, redundant PSUs, RAID systems, high endurance harddisks and maybe even redundant RAM are valid options. For a workstation this is simply not the case.

    Current Core i7's are by far fast enough for all tasks a usual Workstation will have to face.

  • dude shut the fuck up! windows isnt that fucking bad. can you make anything close to as good as it? no so fuck you. your doing the same thing that your bitching about.

  • @SuicideOstrich windows sucks, sorry.

  • @flameman713 You mad because your mac can't even do half the crap Windows can without having to rely on MICROSOFT to get the job done?

  • @MasterNaruto1214 you mad because you get viruses, once a minute crashes, 5000+ driver and os problems, and can't afford a mac because you work at mc Donald's? yeah i think so

  • @flameman713 cool stereotypes,macnerd kid,i bet you had to google those.

    You're mad cause you spent all that money(more like your parents) on mac,yet it can't do half of what a PC can that won't have any of these problems you're mentioning.

    Sounds like someones a butthurt iFanboy troll nerd who got brainwashed by Apple's and emeek/applesoldier's schemes.

  • @MasterNaruto1214 yeah this pc faggot is mad. you spent money on a piece of shit that can;t do half the stuff my mac can do. and plus you get viruses, crashes, os and driver problems, and a laptop that ways about 20 pounds and looks like a piece of shit. oh, and the 2 hour battery life. yeah this faggot is mad.

    SOunds like someones a butthurt pcfanboy troll who needs to stop sucking dick

  • @flameman713 Hahaha your post doesn't even have punctuation. Go learn about real computers(PC) and not the stereotype BS you're fed from apple zealot fanboys,kid. Have you ever even had a PC?

  • @MasterNaruto1214 ahaahahahah pc fagboy is till mad because his computer sucks

    by the way, i dint actually read your comment, but i'm sure it was bullshit

    enjoying those viruses still faggot?

  • Comment removed

  • @flameman713 No,you're the one who seems mad,kid.

    Ohhh,i see. You are so angry you didn't even read my comment. You indeed live up to your name, "flameman". I watch what i'm doing, i don't surf adult material,and click on every popup and suspicious email like you most likely do,noob.

    Still enjoying the utter lack of functionality and compatibility with no hardware upgrade path in a pile of grossly overpriced shit built by Foxconn(if you even know who they are), mac fag?

  • @MasterNaruto1214 i didn't read that comment, but i'm guessing your still mad because your have a shitty computer. enjoy the viruses and crashing!!!!!!

  • @flameman713 But not as much as mac os :)

    macs backwards is SCAM.

  • people that think that a mac is better are just ignorant...its pretty funny seeing this guy make a vid about hating on pc users....im sorry you fail....

  • wow this guy is the biggest apple fan boy ever! he would probably jump on a chance to suck steve job's dick!

  • "Applesoldier"... Smells like a fanboy.

  • Wow, this was absolute drivel. There's really not much to say to this. The takeaway from this video is, the better it looks, the better it performs. Oh, it should be grossly expensive too. Drink some more apple kool-aid there buddy, you're just short of mac worship.

  • i am a video professional. my system is a home built 8 core dual xeon workstation built on a supermicro server motherboard with velociraptor sata drives... i got way more value for my dollar than buying a mac pro or the hp z800. i also unfortunately own an 8 core mac pro so that i can integrate with apple final cut pro editors who work on a system that isn't compatible with 90 percent of the rest of the fucking world.

  • so just because something is more expensive means it's better. Yep typical mac fanboy shit. the i7 and xeon are essentially the same just the xeon is meant for companies and business that have way more money than your average consumer so intel marks up the price because they can make a bigger profit you dumb apple fanboy shit. and please tell me what a mac can do that a pc can't.

  • "I don't want to run windows", then install Linux... What the fuck?

  • How does running windows make a PC shit? Why would a PC only be able to run Windows? PC can even run OS X obversely not with all the features but if Apple made OS X in a way that a PC would be able to run all the features it would.

    BTW, It doesn't matter how the PC case looks, but what you can do on your PC.

  • This guy must be a massive troll.

  • @nullins He is!

  • You give even the most ignorant rednecks a bad name. Ignorane is a bliss.

  • i think your the fanboy, asshole. i bet you wouldnt like it if someone was talking that way about a mac. not to mention, that starting with Lion, all you mac users are going to be at apples mercy because of the app store.

  • Well Apple soldier, I shall answer your question. Professionals use Xeons, not i7 because Xeons can be scaled in parallel to work with another CPU while getting the same performance as an i7.The idea is to get two CPU in the same machine for more cores.

    Now if you're using a single CPU and you go out of your way to buy a Xeon instead of an i7 then you sir are fucking retarded. The extra price is a premium for the multiprocessor capability.

  • This guy is so retarded he talks about the Xeon being better than the i7 and then compares the chassis. If having 4 hard drive bay is so great then fuck you cause my Antec 1200 has 12.

  • If anybody wants proof that the core i7 is a better value by a mile than the Intel Xeon's Apple uses, go to the ixtlabs website, and search Intel Core i7-950 Processor. The first article pits an i7-950 against a Xeon 5560, both of which are quad cores with hyperthread and turbo-boost. The Xeon will run you over $1300 and the 950 will cost you about $300. Check it out to see AppleSoldier proven wrong yet again.

    Pretty sure the Xeon 5560 is a i7 980X. But still, two of those on an evga SR2 is still alot fucking cheaper than Mac pro bullshit.

  • @Disinf3ctant No its not, take a look at the actual processors and take a look at the benchmarks I suggested, the i7-950 beats out the Xeon 5560 in every test. An i7-980x would beat the shit out of all of the Xeon 5500 series. Again, benchmarks are the best way to test the best, and it has been proven that the i7-950 is better than the 5560, just putting it out there.

  • @PCWarrior55

    Really? Never noticed. I do know one thing though. It's definitely an re branded i7 of some sort, probably the lower end models. They sell it to corporations for more cause they know the dipshits in the management department will buy anything. Just like nVidias quadros. Their just rebranded GTX 470s being sold for around 6 times the price.

  • @Disinf3ctant The timeline with the Xeon's and i7's is actually kinda weird. The Xeon 5500's came out before majority of the i7's, but they are based on a similar architecture. There is no direct comparison of which i7 is like which Xeon, but by benchmarking we can figure out which i7's are better than which Xeon's and the 950 or higher beats out the lowest end Mac Pro's for processor power. But ya, it is priced so that they can make as much money as possible.

  • @Disinf3ctant The one huge selling point of the Xeon's is the ability for 2 to be used on the same motherboard, which allows for more cores. They have to add that tech in the Xeon's, so that would increase the price slightly, but it is perfect for Mac's, overpriced. Cause then they can add on their extra 200 or 300 bucks and no one would really notice.

  • @Disinf3ctant quadro cards and geforce cards are nothing fucking alike you retard.
