Siqale usuku ngemininingwane yeGeekbench 3 ethathwe kwi-iMac entsha eyethulwe izolo yi-Apple futhi ikhombisa lokho sonke ebesivele sikwazi, intengo ephansi kepha nokusebenza okuphansi. Le iMac entsha Kubukeka sengathi kuhloswe ngqo emkhakheni wezemfundo noma webhizinisi ukuthi bazokonga inani eliphakeme (nge-VAT) lapho kufanele bavuselele amakhompyutha ngendlela enkulu, ngoba kumsebenzisi wangasese ngicabanga ukuthi kungcono ukusindisa lawo ma-euro angama-200 imodeli ephakeme ngokushesha kunemodeli entsha eyethulwe izolo bese ushiya 'kwabanye' le iMac entsha nesehlisiwe.
Kodwa manje sihamba nemiphumela etholwe yilo mshini omusha Esivivinyweni seGeekbench 3 esiza emahoreni ambalwa nje ngemuva kokwethulwa:
Iprosesa ye-1.4 GHz, i-5400 rpm mechanical hard drive kanye nehluzo ezingezinhle Bayenza ilahlekelwe umusi omningi uma iqhathaniswa namamodeli we-iMac uma sibheka ngqo imiphumela etholwe kulolu vivinyo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, imiphumela etholwe yi-single-core iyefana naleyo etholwe yisizukulwane samanje seMacbook Air noma ngisho nebanga elidala iMac lehla ngaphambi kokuba leli lifike. Sengeza izithombe ezimbili ezinikezwa yi-Primate Labs futhi ebeka iMac entsha phakathi kwalo lonke uhla lwamakhompyutha we-Apple:
I-Apple ayijwayele ukwenza izinto ngoba yebo nokukhishwa kwalokhu konke kukodwa hudula inkinga i-Intel okufanele inikeze ama-processor amasha we-Broadwell. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuthengiswa kwamakhompiyutha kubonakala kungakhuphuki njengamanje futhi ngokukhipha le iMac enamanani aphansi entengo emkhakheni wezemfundo noma webhizinisi, i-Apple ingaba nebhizinisi elinenzuzo elizobanikeza imali engenayo kanye nokuthengisa ngokumelene nomncintiswano ngaphandle ukutshala imali ngedola elilodwa.
