How about throwing the Mac Pro into the 2007 cpu charts, I'd love to see how it compares in benchmark tests.

I like the idea, since the Mac is marketed as the prime content-creation platform...
Although since they both use the same core architecture now, I wouldn't think the differences would be great clock-for-clock :sarcastic:

which C2D & Q's can you get in a mac pro anyway?

This doesn't make sense. The cpu charts are used to compare cpu's. Variables are minimized as much as possible so that the difference in performance can be attributed to the cpu used. Macs use the same intel core 2 duo chips as PCs, so their cpu's are already represented. Adding mac benchmarks only adds a whole host of reasons for differing performance and it has no place on a CPU chart.

They could bench content that is on both PC(duh they are all Personal Computers as far as I know)

Like photoshop, audio and video encoding. on both OS's and toss in linux too. its should perform about the same(well similar) as mac.

Do people upgrade hardware on their Macs or just buy a new one when it gets old? I was always under the assumption that the people who used these charts were mostly people who build their own rigs, i.e. not Mac owners. Also, since Macs now use Intel processors, is it really necessary?

i think the way you're asking is a bit flawed. The way I'm reading it is your asking to add a specific make and model of computer to a cpu chart that is based solely upon the processor itself not the computers that house them. I think it'd be more beneficial to do a a mac to pc comparison rather than add something like that to a cpu chart. Which thanks to mac using intel chips, you can do a comparison where you'd really see which OS utilizes the cpu/memory better.

What's a Mac?

well said, my bad... I'd like to see how the mac pro compares to a pc on benchmarks with its two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest” processors

Isn't woodcrest the server counterpart of a 1333FSB Conroe? and Clovertown the counterpart to kentsfield? I think it's pretty much useless, we already have benchmarks for those.
