New member here - I hope you can help 
I'm torn between waiting for a new iMac Pro or just getting the top i7 core "standard" iMac. Mostly for photo editing, with some video (like a 10 minute video or two per month).
I can't find any specific info, but I seem to recall programs like Photoshop and Lightroom really don't use multiple cores well and you're actually better off with a chip that has a faster clock speed. It seems like I saw a test where - for photoshop - a fast i7 was better than a similar Xeon.
I figure if there's no real advantage to the Xeon processor for what I do, then why spend the extra $$ and wait another 6 months?
Thoughts?
