Of <i>course</i> a purpose-built PC will outperform an iMac, dollar for dollar. That&#x27;s not exactly news. The iMac also has a severe price-to-performance disadvantage here by including an expensive 5K panel, while the PC is tested with a much cheaper 2560x1440 monitor.<p>However, the disappointing thing to me here is that you can&#x27;t reach performance parity with the iMac by throwing more money at it. The iMac tested here is a completely maxed out machine.
