Re: Big Iron Shootout: MacPro vs Dell and HP

[Walter Soyka] "Straight-up editorial does not need a sizzle core beast in 2012. You can get by pretty well with just a modern laptop and some fast disks."

Walter you've said this many times in the past and you are way more knowledgeable than I am on the subject, but a lot of my editorial time is spent rendering timelines, cross grading clips, and compressing for both DVD and h264 files, along with using either motion of AE for compositing (which is why I have so much time to post on the Cow.) This seems like a fairly normal workflow to me and unless I'm missing something all of that activity is helped by multiple cores - or isn't it?
