iMac Late 2013 Cinebench R20 score??

[trackbikes]

Can anyone confirm if the Cinebench R20 score for a late 2013 iMac i5 4670 (i think that's the base model) is around 1245?

My iMac died a few months back and I've been working on a 2015 MacBook air which is fine for everything except rendering 1080P videos when it struggles a bit.

I'm deciding whether to get the iMac repaired & updated (SSD + more ram) or upgrade to a 2020 MBP or Air. The problem is probably either a RAM issue or Processor neither which should be too expensive..

From looking around I've seen scores of around 1800 for the pro and 900ish for the air, so for rendering it looks like the pro will win hands down.. BUT I'll need to work out if a bit more speed is worth a lot more $$$

Until someone comes along with the same test on an equivalent iMac, the listed benchmark score for that processor is 1,245.

But I'm not really surprised as the MacBook Air will have a dual-core processor vs the quad-core from the iMac.

For reference:

• my Late 2014 quad-core 4GHz i7 (4790K) with a Radeon R9 M285X scores 1700
• my 2019 2017 hex-core 3.2GHz i7 (8700) with a Radeon Pro Vega 20 scores 3400

For intel, that chart must be scary...

Intel does well in single core benchmarks, AMD in multi-core benchmarks.

Although AMD is much better value for money.

Surprised Apple haven't decided to got to AMD for a replacement to Intel.

Well I don't have that model, but my late 2012 27" (i7-3770) iMac averages from 1450-1470ish score-wise on the few runs I tried. According to that site, my model scores 1419, which is fairly close to what I scored. I'm guessing that the 1245 score for the late 2013 i5 is probably accurate, plus or minus (1200-1300 range?).

Was also recently checking out an upgrading the 2013 iMac video (Luke Miani, Upgrading the $500 2013 iMac to the Max) and the i5-4670 score he had was 1244. Upgrading to the i7-4771 gave him a score of 1644.
