He's using crappy metrics. It depends on the instruction set architecture being used because a better ISA trumps more GHz.

That's not a problem in this case. All of the CPUs listed have the same Ivy Bridge cores, just different numbers of them running at different speeds.

If there's one thing Marco missed, it's that the larger L3 cache will help some single-threaded workloads run faster on the higher-end Xeons.

All Macs (and all competing workstations) use pretty much the same architecture (Ivy Bridge or Haswell).
