iMac Core i5 : Mac Pro for all of us
November 21st, 2009
As I expected, even with Core i5, the new 27″ iMac is faster than quad-core Mac Pro, and even 8-core Mac Pro, as benched by MacWorld. Moreover, the Core i7 version adds a mere 8% to the overall performance!
If you don’t need fast hard-drive in RAID, ability to put more than 16GB RAM (that is plenty of RAM even by today’s standards) or ability to have fastest graphic card (OpenCL oriented, like GeForce 8800, GT120 or GT130), the new 27″ iMac Core i5 is a fantastic performer with the right price tag!
I knew for sure the iMac Core i5 will beat the quad-core Mac Pro, and I am not deceived this time
