It’s really great, but I want this new computer to be a beast and a step up in power with the added bonus of iMessage!! Not just more of the same while using less energy. On my i9 iMac a few plugins with oversampling will cause constant cpu errors. I really hope that won’t be the case!!!

Who knows how much of your 'spike' is actually multicore processing that has been distributed across the available cores, or even specific to Pro Tools. Benchmarks are fun, but using the system is really the only way you'll ever find out in real life circumstances.
I would be surprised if you didn't seen some pretty decent improvements to performance. Pro Tools uses single core processing for some stuff... but that by no means makes it a single core application.
