what's going on guys this is Jonathan here with Texas lunch and dinner I reviewed the core i5 iMac and I also did the core i7 so what this video is it's actually a bunch of benchmarks put together so I'm going to show you guys the performance differences in depth between the two and also want to reiterate that I think it's definitely worth the upgrade I'll tell you guys watching this video now taking a look at these IMAX the only difference is actually the CPU which will cost you 200 hours more to go from the i-5 to the i7 other than that they share the same 2560 by 1440 display you get a 1 terabyte hard drive which you can also upgrade it to terabytes or even at an SSD if you want you have 4 gigs around that comes stock with the iMac and this is expandable up to 16 gigabytes of memory they also use the exact same video card the ATI 5750 now moving on to the CPU power the core i5 on the iMac comes in clocked at 2.8 gigahertz now when it moves up to a turbo boost during heavy applications such as Final Cut After Effects it jumps all the way up to three point three gigahertz now the i7 comes clocked at 2.93 this also goes up to 3.6 gigahertz using turbo boost now moving on to really the main reason why I think the i7 is worth the extra money is that the i5 doesn't feature hyper threading so they're both four cores as you guys can see the four cores on the i-5 but as we move on to the i7 it does have the four cores but it has hyper-threading so each core has two threads so the OS will actually see it as an 8 core instead of the quad core so that extra boost that extra performance is really going to come in handy for video editing rendering Photoshop After Effects it's not going to make too much as far as difference as far as gaming goes but the rendering and overall speed performance I guess it is definitely worth the money now moving on to the benchmarks here is the Geekbench 64-bit benchmark for both computers Eco i5 scored an 80 42 baldie core i7 scored ten thousand seven hundred and fourteen so you guys can see there's actually a bit of a difference here now moving on to the next one in Cinebench 11.5 the core i7 scored five point three eight while the core i5 scored three point seven like I mentioned before they are the exact same graphics card so in the center bench render test for the GPU that scored relatively the same moving on to the handbrake benchmark I got a six minute and 53 second export on a 23 minute Apple TV h.264 rip for the i7 while the core i5 exporter that same clip and minutes and 13 seconds so nice little speed bump there I think that's worth the money in my opinion now for screenful the core i7 did a one-minute 1080p h.264 export in 1 minute and 27 seconds while the core i5 did the same thing in 1 minute and 55 seconds now moving on to iMovie benchmarks for one minute 1080p video import the core i7 did that in 23 seconds while the core i5 2031 seconds and in the last benchmark of this video for iMovie we took a 1-minute HD 1080p clip exported it down to 720 and h.264 format the core i7 took 1 minute and 57 seconds while the core i5 took 2 minutes and 30 seconds so 30 seconds may not seem like a lot but if you look in the big picture if you're doing a 1-hour clip and you save a lot of time importing exporting the more time you save the more you're going to get done our see you guys can see from the benchmarks it is a huge difference as far as performance goes the hyper threading in my opinion alone is worth the extra 200 bucks so if you guys were kind of undecided is it worth paying the extra 200 bucks for the i7 100% yes it is so definitely like I mentioned in my review for you to be dropping this much money on the iMac I definitely think that you should be spending and getting the best that you can so the i7 definitely I said fits that bill so I hope that cleared up some of the confusion if you guys were wondering is it worth the money as always I appreciate you guys checking on my videos comment if you guys haven't subscribed feel free to do so and I'll catch you guys later Jonathan here with tech fest lunch and dinner I'm going to be honored with TLD bunch of best mutton you
