Hier de zogenaamde Benchmarks van de nieuwe iMac 27” met Quad Core i7 processor, oorspronkelijk geplaatst op: de zeer interessante site BareFeats.

Kort gezegd is de nieuwe iMac met 2.8Ghz i7 processor net zo snel als de quad-core Mac Pro.

Indrukwekkend om zoveel kracht in zo’n dunne computer te krijgen...

Quote van Barefeats:
“The iMac Core i7 (quad-core) finally gives us an "all in one" Mac that can "run with the big dogs." It is just a few steps behind the 2.93GHz quad-core Mac Pro and significantly faster than the fastest dual-core iMacs.”

“We haven't forgotten to answer the question, "What about the iMac Core i5?" Geekbench 64 bit results posted on the Geekbench Browser indicate that the Core i7 is 35% faster. Until we can get our hands on a Core i5, we can only hypothesize that it is worth the paying 10% more for the Core i7 to get 35% more CPU power.”
