"The response to our memory upgrades for the newest 27" iMac has been tremendous, and we are thrilled to kick off the new year by providing even more savings versus factory options," said Larry O'Connor, OWC Founder and CEO.

"Just last month we did extensive testing of the Late 2015 iMac against the Mac Pro, testing various processor and memory configurations," said O'Connor. It was stunning to see the Late 2015 iMac with the Intel 4-Core i7 4.0 Ghz processor outperform the Late 2013 Mac Pro in all memory configurations up to 64GB, which is the maximum for this iMac. The 2015 iMac truly is a power house." Full test results are available at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac-5K-Versus-Mac-Pro-Speed-Test.
