Apple says its tests show up to 1.5x faster Excel performance, up to 2x faster Affinity graphics and up to 5x faster LM Studio prompt processing than an iMac with M4 (a 10-core, 32GB, 2TB M4 system for most comparisons). Against the most popular Intel-based iMac, Apple claims up to 18x faster performance. These are Apple's own numbers.

The iMac keeps its 24-inch 4.5K Retina display with 500 nits, a 12MP Center Stage camera and seven colors. It adds Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. The 12-core model adds four Thunderbolt 4 ports and an optional 2.5Gb Ethernet port, and Apple says the SSD is up to 2x faster.
