In Unigene Heaven benchmarks, it doubles the score of the 5K iMac, which is a good start.īut that’s just theory. The Vega 64 chip we have is AMD’s big powerhouse, meant to battle the top-end cards from rival Nvidia, and there’s big performance here. It’s a similar story when it comes to graphics. That’s what we mean about the price being worthwhile if it saves you time – it’s a huge speed boost.

The iMac Pro managed it in under 10 minutes. It’s a tough challenge, and this is a respectable score. The most recent regular 5K iMac managed to convert our 31-minute video in 27 minutes. We like to tax things with a video export of a native Blu-ray file into a streaming-friendly MP4. So naturally, the next thing we tried was a bit of video exporting. The speed of the iMac Pro only really stands out from other Macs once you start doing something processor or graphics intensive. This is part of what makes it so good for video work (see the box on the next page for our tame video pro’s opinion of what it’s like to actually use for 4K editing).īut other Macs also have really fast storage (not quite this fast, but we’ve seen the MacBook Pros hitting 1.7GB/s), which makes them pretty much as fast for loading apps and stuff. Just to be clear, that’s three gigabytes per second. We clocked the storage on the iMac Pro with write speeds of 3GB/s per second, and read speeds of 2.5GB/s. Apple’s SSDs use some kind of mysterious technology to be just comically fast, even compared to what else is out there.
Everything you do is effectively instant, though that’s mostly down to the storage. Okay, we’re finished being boring and sensible now.
