    2012 iMac (upgraded) vs 2018 (entry) iMac Pro?

    I have a late 2012 iMac, (upgraded to 32 GB Memory) and Geforce GTX 680MX I do a fair bit of After Effects and 4K video editing work. If I upgrade to an entry-level iMac Pro (3.2GHz 8-core, 32GB Ram, Pro Vega 56) would I notice a substantial performance increase? Thanks.
