Does anybody have an opinion on whether a 3.33 GHz 6-core machice might be a better choice than a 2.93 GHz 12 core machine, considering to what degree current software (VE Pro, Logic 9, Finale, NI, Ivory) makes good use of multi-core machines?
Thanks.

I'd definitely wait until they are shipping and users report back before making a decision.
Logic doesn't use all of an 8 core machine so I have my doubts about how it will run on 6 or 12. Hopefully there will be a Logic update that gives full core support soon, but I've been hoping that for a long time now. Supposedly Pro Tools of all apps uses all cores including hyperthreading, but I'd like to see that with my own eyes.
With VEP, are all cores (including HT cores) used?
