Apple on Tuesday released what might be the final 27-inch iMac with an Intel processor, the new models featuring faster processors, twice the memory capacity, new AMD graphics processors, and a 1080p webcam.
The 27-inch iMac sports the latest 10-generation Intel Core processors, complete with 6-cores and 8-cores, and for the first time, customers can also choose a 10-core processor option. The high end model can reach Turbo Boost speeds of 5.0GHz, and RAM capacity has been doubled to 128GB.
Another first time option is a graphics card with 16GB of memory using the newest AMD Radeon Pro 5000 series.
Solid state drives are now standard across the new 27-inch iMac models, with performance of up to 3.4GB/s as well as a new 8TB SSD option.
The model’s Retina 5K display comes with True Tone and a nano-texture option that was first seen with the Pro Display XDR. The monitor features 14.7 million pixels driving a billion colors at 500 nits of brightness. The nano-texture cuts down on glare similar to matte displays.
The updated 27-inch iMac starts at $1,799 and goes up from there, depending on the specs and options.
In other news, the 21-inch iMac and iMac Pro received minor updates as well, these units now arriving with SSDs across the 21-inch line as well as a build-to-order Fusion Drive option. The iMac Pro, in turn, now arrives standard with a 10-core Intel Xeon processor.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
