Looking at core count and ram size isn't how to measure performance. You test and measure. But, the cores are just better on the m1 as has been shown through tons of benchmarking. Also, if the interconnects and busses are smarter (better cache coherency impl) then you'll be better in multithreading cases. Also because it's an SoC it has a way better implementation for the ddr interface (that's what they claim at least). I wouldn't be surprised if the latency hit for accessing RAM was way better than on x86 where you have to cross a long bus. For the workloads that people run on iMacs, light photoshop, some video editing, etc. We already know the new macbooks are amazing at it and this machine will have the same hardware, but with a dope screen (and cool colors. I want yellow >.>).
