gavbon86: RT AMD is also announcing their upcoming "Mendocino" APU today.RyanSmithAT: For anyone who had "no new GeForce hardware" in the Computex betting pool, be sure to collect your winnings.RyanSmithAT: But as a consolation prize, NVIDIA is releasing liquid-cooled accelerators for the datacenter market.This wasn't always true, Apple has significantly improved OS X performance with 10.6.x vs Leopard. The Cinebench scores are identical under both OSes in case you were wondering. The 15W difference in idle power usage is significant, but honestly it matters a lot less in a system like the Mac Pro than a mini or MacBook Pro. As expected, idle power was a bit higher while load power consumption was identical: Power Consumption Comparison I decided to see how power consumption changed under Boot Camp. We’ve been tracking Mac power consumption in OS X vs. The Mac Pro we’re testing here is clocked much lower than our 2009 Mac Pro, which explains some of the power advantage but not all of it. The same is true under load, although the GPU plays less of a role in our Cinebench render test for load power. If you look at the 2009 Mac Pro with a GeForce GTX 285 however, the 5770/2010 Mac Pro has a significant idle power advantage. If we compare last year’s Mac Pro with the GeForce GT 120 idle power consumption is actually lower than the new Westmere system thanks to the Radeon HD 5770 drawing more power at idle. The big advantage of Westmere is power consumption.
