I had a 2009 quad-core MacPro (2.0GHz) that I used extensively to rip my DVD collection. I got tired of the power consumption and noise, so I traded it in and got the quad Mac Mini and a Super Drive. The Mac Pro took roughly 2 hours to rip a 2-hour DVD. The Mac Mini did the same project in 30 minutes. 
And the Mini is still listed quite high on GeekBench. That there has not been another is a shame.
