Think different: Tests challenge Apple's iMac claims of superior speed

Two days before the iMac went on sale, Apple interim CEO Steve Jobs said the new system "toasts the fastest PC money can buy at any price -- the Pentium II 400."
Not so fast. Tests published Friday on PC Magazine's Web site contend that that the actual performance of the iMac "fell far short of that claim."

PC Magazine found that Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) based its claims on an older set of benchmark tests that centered on the central processor, without attaching due weight to disk and graphics performance.

"Because of these and other limitations that we eventually discovered, we were surprised that the iMac's performance was promoted so fervently by Apple," PC Magazine reported.
