Apple's New iMacs Up to 20% Faster Than Previous Models in Geekbench TestingApple's new
21.5-inch 4K and 27-inch 5K iMacs released yesterday have been subjected to early
Geekbench 3 benchmarking, and the results show the late 2015 models are expectedly faster, with improved single-core and multi-core scores compared to previous-generation models.
The new iMacs are between roughly 7% and 20% faster than previous models in Geekbench testing, but it should be noted the results are based on single data points that will need to be averaged out against other benchmarking results for a more accurate comparison.
