If you do something that is fairly CPU bound, such as large project C++ compiles for iOS software, it matters, a lot. GPUs are not going to make those compiles any faster, and apple has abandoned distcc. The more CPU cores the better. I'm seriously disappointed that they are not offering a 2 or even 3 socket version of the new mac pro. They're all, fuck you iOS developers, the only people who are practically stuck on our platform.
