The iMac Retina 5K began to be delivered instead of the standard models ordered by some customers of the Apple company, those from Cupertino making the decision to make a series of gifts to certain people. An American who ordered a standard 27-inch iMac from Apple the other day was notified that will receive the iMac Retina 5K following the update made yesterday by the American company for its line of Macs.
The upgrade to the superior model is offered free of charge by those from Cupertino, and this is because both the old and new models are exactly the same, so Apple loses absolutely nothing by offering these gifts. Considering that the change was made last night, there is a very high chance that other people have had a similar surprise from Appl for the same purchase.
You may not have heard, but we just announced the new iMac with Retina 5K display. Since your order has yet to ship, we automatically upgraded you to the new iMac with Retina 5K display.
Although iMac Retina 5K is delivered with a better processor by the Apple company, the main problem is with the graphics cards that the two Macs designed in Cupertino contain. Specifically, the iMac Retina 5K comes with an AMD Radeon R9 M290X graphics card, while the old model of the 27-inch iMac was equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M graphics card, the latter offering better performance, according to recent tests for they.
Considering that the iMac Retina 5K has a very high resolution screen, the difference between the performance of the two video cards will definitely be a problem for many, and this is because Apple has shown us its limitations. In general, the new Retina Macs had significantly lower performances than the models released before them, and this is due to the hardware insufficiently capable of supporting the high resolution, but it remains to be seen if there will be any difference now.
