I don't think this is supposed to align against Mac Pros (plus what people are already saying with the chipset memory limitation)

  It seems to me that a top-of-the-line consumer machine should be able to compete with a 3 year old workstation (that hadn't received a significant update in two years -- effectively 5yo hardware).

    What 3 year old workstation are you talking about?

      Read my original post.

        Ok - so just an arbitrary old machine you picked. Somehow I thought there was more logic to the choice of benchmark that I was missing.

    Why aren't you comparing your old mac pro with a current mac pro? 12GB of RAM (up to 64GB) https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/ https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/ The mac pro line always had xeon processors.. so it seems odd that you would expect the same memory support on a desktop.
