iMac 5K 4.0 GHz, 32GB, 1TB SSD, AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5 -versus-
2013 Mac Pro 3.3 GHz 8-core, 64GB, 1TB SSD, D700
The two machines tested here are the fastest possible models for this type of work (as of late 2014).
Cinebench R15 OpenGL
The 2013 Mac Pro with its dual D700 GPUs falls well short of the iMac.

Cinebench R15 CPU
The 8 CPU cores of the 2013 Mac Pro are indeed much more capable than the faster but only 4 cores of the iMac 5K.
