FCP6 is optimised for the 8 core Mac Pro despite what you were told in
the other thread. More cores=more realtime streams and scales almost
linearly with No. of cores. Compressor 3 is completely multi-threaded
and again is optimised for multi core Macs and is 2.5-3x (using same
hardware) faster than Compressor 2.
The new CS3 packages are not scheduled for release until September is
the last I heard.
WRT performance you can download a public beta of Premiere CS3 to check
for yourself. FCS2 is not released until the end of May so direct
comparison will not be able to be made until then but I personally am
not expecting any difference between FCP and Premiere based on what I've
been told from someone who attended NAB.
My experience with Intel Macs and FCS1, Shake and a whole host of
universal binary applications is in marked contrast to Smarty's but then
I am only a freelance compositor working in broadcast and film so what
do I know??
