They have not taken too long to test the speed of the processor and the graphics of this year's new iMac, launched by Apple a couple of days ago According to Geekbench testing, this new computer is about 20% faster than the 2019 equivalent in multi-core performance. But the tests carried out for this supercomputer do not end here, the 2020 iMac that has enviable characteristics.
The comparative It has been carried out with the base model and compared to the previous year. In this way, we have that the 2020 iMac is much faster than last year. The lower-end Intel Core i5 3.1GHz processor achieved a multi-core score of 5688, compared to 4746 for the 2019 base model. Single-core performance was 1090, which is only 6% faster than the 1027 of the last year.
But it has not only been compared by this method. The Japanese site Macotakara, has made its own comparison and the results have been similar. Considering that the iMac Retina 5K, 27 inches have been compared. The 2020 model has shown that it is about 1.2 times faster.
The real surprise comes from the graphics section. The 5300 iMac's Radeon Pro 2020 is roughly 36% faster than Radeon Pro 570X which came mounted on the 2019 model for Metal and 43% faster on OpenCL.
The evidence is overwhelming. The 2020 model is faster than the 2019 model. However not reason enough to have to upgrade if your iMac is from 2019. At least, not for me. The other features, although they are also very tempting, are not enough for the outlay of the price of these computers. Recall that the base model of the 2020 iMac starts at 2.099 euros. An amount of money that is to think about the change.
