Yesterday Apple launched iMac 4K 21.5-inch along with new versions of iMac 5K 27-inch, both benefiting from the latest generation Intel processors, their performances being superior to those offered by the iMacs sold until yesterday by those from Cupertino in stores all over the world.
The increase in performance offered by iMac 4K and iMac 5K is between 7% and 20%, the difference compared to previous models not being as big as we see in the case of iPhone terminals or iPad tablets, and this is due to the fact that Intel focuses on the reduction of consumption and dimensions.
In the case of both models, the maximum scores are 200-300 points higher in the single-core tests for the processor and 2000-3000 points higher in the multi-core tests, so we are talking about an increase of approximately 20% in performance, she not being easily noticeable.
Both the cheap models and the top models of the iMac 4K and iMac 5K were tested with similar models from previous versions of the products, so we are talking about fairly accurate comparisons regarding the models, the hardware used in them being of course different .
In general, the Apple company offers performance increases of up to 20% - 30% for its Macs, regardless of the model, so you should not be surprised by the fact that the jump in performance is not greater, because Apple's "style" is different, the emphasis being on other features.
