the i7-7700 is around 20-25% faster. An ultra low power chip only 20-25% behind current high power desktop chips is quite impressive.

  Not in geekbench though, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14505189 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14505189. That's 20k multi thread score vs 9k. That benchmark might be a bit flawed.

    Something does not add up here. Taking that benchmark and compare it to the other, we get http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/231758?baseline=3039096 http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/231758?baseline=... The i7-7700K is not twice as fast.

      It's the iMac's thermal throttling...

        That is incredible poor design. A beefy CPU crippled because it't throttled. Why not use a lower power CPU instead and get better performance.
