Which article? I posted quite a few at this point. The first one. Not sure what specifically you mean. I'll take a wild guess and   assume you're talking about the Falcon Northwest Mach V with Core 2   Extreme? It's an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor and top of the line,   I guess that's why they used it, not sure. I was more interested in   side-by-side comparisons of virtually identical systems. Look next to the Falcon and there is the Gateway. Both have a single dual core cpu as far as I can see. Correct me if i am wrong. Both equaled more or less, the performance of the Two dual core (4 cores) of the MAC pro. Not very impressive for the MAC Pro. From what I read these are not Woodcrest but the "latest and greatest" Conroe processors (at least it is on the Falcon. According to reviews of the Falcon, it was supposed to be unbeatable for quite sometime. Well guess what, it's been beaten. So that's what it seems to be about, beating the leader in speed. See: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1985983,00.asp The Falcon Northwest Mach V runs Intel's long-awaited Core 2 processor (formerly known as Conroe). It's the new desktop performance champ, and the one others will be chasing around the track for quite a while. Jaw-dropping speed. Quieter than some of the competition.
