About your bet, Dan, what do you think will happen to the Mac Pro line?
It's going to be a few years before ARM can
compete with the high end Core line, if ever.
And I doubt L'Jobs will bless us with a Power
based system.
The reason I am concerned about this is because
I use computers also to compute number sequences
and there you need all the power you can get.
And more cores mean more intervals at the same
time, where current 12-core Mac Pro is clearly
the winner.
From your description, GUI is moot - so there's
no requirement for OS X. A 12 core machine is
nice, but quite limited for serious computing.
Think GPUs, Grid, and Cloud.
