I don't know if quad core is better for photo's but it's definitely the case that 12 core Mac Pros definitely run Photoshop slower than 6 core Mac Pros. There are other programs that run much better on the 12 core machines, through. It's really all in how they're written and how amendable the work load is to spreading it over multiple cores.

I'm currently running a xeon 6 core 3.33GHz Mac Pro for photoshop and it definitely outperforms my old i7 2.xx (I can't exactly remember the speed) Windows box doing the same things. But it's hard to generalize that kind of result. Would the same i7 running OS-X run photoshop the same? I kind of doubt it.
