Any performance difference between 5K and 2013 models?

Besides the higher res screen, is there much difference between the 5K iMacs and the ones released in 2013? Processor? Thunderbolt speed, etc.

Thanks.

Apple publishes the specifications, have you considered looking at them?

Good thinking. Let's get rid of hardware reviews, software reviews, car reviews, technology reviews.....all the specs are published so why waste time on people's opinions.

Seriously, people come here to get real life input, not smart arse comments.

Besides looking for real world feedback, I am not clear if there was an updated non retina model released besides the ones in later 2013? OR if the current non retina iMacs are the same ones released in late 13?

No updates, in fact it's reasonable to say that the non-retinas will never get an update again.

Judging from those benchmarks alone = very little difference, except a few frames or seconds faster.
