Considering a retina iMac that I will use to run *single-threaded* scientific computations.. usually code written in MATLAB or Python that has not been written to take advantage of multiple cores.
Hence I thought the clock speed of a single core is the most important variable and was going to order the 4 GHZ Core i7 version of the retina iMac (instead of a Core i5 or a Mac Pro, all of which have lower clock speeds).
Does this sound wise?
