What iMac model matches the performance of a 2017 iMac Pro?

I have a 2017 iMac Pro that I'm considering replacing. It has a 3 GHz 10-core Intel Xeon W processor with 32 GB of RAM, along with a Radeon Pro Vega 64X graphics card with 16GB.


What current iMac would I need to buy to get the same performance? Or do I need to consider a Mac Studio instead?

iMac Pro, macOS 12.5

What do you currently do on the 2017 iMac Pro...?


Both the new M4 Mac mini and the current M2 Mac Studio will run circles around the 2017 iMac Pro. Although I would wait to see if the Mac Studio gets a chip upgrade. Also keep in mind the both of those require using an aftermarket display or a Studio display.

I mainly use it for 3D modelling with Blender. Apple is discontinuing their Intel Metal support in the next Blender update, which is why I'm considering replacing my iMac Pro.


I'll try the "Which Mac..." link you provided. Thanks for the suggestion.
