Hey a greater than 80% increase is pretty nice! Final commentsĪlthough I didn't take down any numbers, my gaming performance also increased noticeably. New CPU Render time for Splash279: 2:34.OLD CPU Render time for Splash279: 4:23.On top of that, I got an increase %50 in OpenGL capabilities as the CPU was now better able to feed the GPU the graphical instructions required for better performance due to the near 30% increase in single threaded capabilities. Wow! Of course I expected better multithreaded results going from 4 core to 6 cores but getting a 100% increase in multithreaded performance was not anticipated. I made some quick and dirty before and after upgrade comparisons to give you an idea of the performance increases. Connect your CPU tray back into your Mac Pro.
