Difference in terms of performance 6 core i7 en 6 core in iMac

I intent to by an iMac to use Final Cut Pro (not professional). I try to compare 21,5 inch iMac, 3.0-GHZ 6-core Intel i5 8e generation with 27 inch iMac 3.1 Ghz 6-core Intel i5 processor 10e generation.

What will be the performance difference between these two iMacs?
