If the Dell 5K is anything like the the two 25" UP2516D screens that
I
have just bought there is an awful lot of memory and computing power
inside to deal with multiple color spaces etc. It's not just a bare
display. I have no idea of how the Apple 5K compares in this respect
or how it handles the equivalent problems.

whatever is needed is part of the imac itself.

That's right, so how nay color spaces does it recognise and how are
they calibrated?

as many as you want (within the limits of the panel) and with a
hardware puck.

So within the limits of the panel, how many color spaces does it
recognise and how are they calibrated?

a panel does not recognize colour spaces nor is there a number. it's
just a component out of many.

So there are no preset color spaces.

of course not. it's just a panel. does the cpu/gpu have preset colour
spaces? nope.

So how then do you go about
configuring the 5k if you want it to display the (say) AdobeRGB color
space?

you choose adobe rgb from the displays system preference and/or
photoshop or whatever other app you are using (if the app offers a
choice).

you can also use a puck to calibrate it to whatever you want it to be.

that has nothing to do with the panel hardware.
