[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1815308, member: 56379"] Being the frugile person that I am...my first question would be. If you could get your 2012 iMac to run faster...would that be satisfactory...or are you itching for a newer iMac big-time that nothing but a new iMac will do?;) As far as speed. CPU benchmarks have the 2012 iMac with a score of 9000 and the 2017 iMac at about 13,000...thus about 44-45% faster. The GPU in the 2017 will probably be much better as well...and an SSD will make feel faster. - Nick [/QUOTE]
