Something fishy is going on here. I don't have a ton of experience with hardware, but enough to be pretty sure that the 2012 iMac is under-performing its specs here. (edit) For example, if you just look at CPU benchmarks, the processor in the iMac is not far off the i7 7700k that someone posted a benchmark for elsewhere in the thread, yet the 7700k supposedly thrashes the iPad while the iMac doesn't. Maybe both the iMac and iPad have thermal issues that a standard PC desktop would not.
