Hello, is the iMac i5 processor faster than the new Macbook Pro i5?

That's right,iMac has a faster clock speed and more cache which makes it a faster choice but the i7 in MBP performs pretty well too

Is it actually relevant which is faster? The main difference between the two is portability. The desktop will be faster than the laptop. The laptop lets you carry it with you.
