- slantyyz 8y agoWell, it depends. Which particular 2018 XPS are you referring to? Some Passmark CPU comparisons: 2012 iMac with the i7 3770 - 9282 XPS 13 i7-8550U - 8305 XPS 15 i7-8750H -12477 (Note that XPS 15s tend to be thermally throttled also) Desktop i7 9700K - 17257 Desktop i9 9900X - 22883 Desktop Ryzen 2920X - 21920 A high spec laptop doesn't compare with a high spec desktop CPU, especially if it's a U class CPU like the ones used by the XPS 13 (which seems to be way more popular than the XPS 15). If you have an i7 2012 iMac, it still holds its own to any top end ultrabook (U) class CPU.
