It seems like an odd one when we talk about the comparison between the iMac and Mac Pro 2013 because one focused on the home & office use, while the other one is for professional use like editing high end videos and 3D animation and modeling.
We make this comparison between iMac and Mac Pro 2013 because it would give you an idea of difference in performance. We know this isn’t the best way to compare these two Macs, but since its launch date isn’t until December, we’ll have to wait for all new Mac Pro.
The Base version of iMac 2013 along with Haswell Processor has a price tag of $1,299 as compared to $2,999 for new Mac Pro, though this price tag doesn’t include a monitor, and you’ll have to add $999.99 more for 27 inch Thunderbolt display.
While sorting these specifications we’ll list iMac first with all new 2013 Mac Pro second. When we talk about Processor it has a quad core Intel core i7 or i5 as compared to quad core or 6 core Xeon (Intel). 32GB of RAM as compared to 64GB and there’s a wide range of the storage options.
iMac 2013 has a choice of NVIDIA GeFroce GTX 775M, NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M, or GTX 780M as compared to the dual AMD FirePro D300/D500/D700 graphics processors.
