It has been pretty long since the iMac's were due for an upgrade. Don't you think so? I mean we have been waiting for ages for this, and finally Apple gave it! Yes and this time its big, because the Mac Pro is now merged into the iMac as well and called the iMac Pro.
The iMac is a Desktop PC which has the whole motherboard built in along with the screen, so no messy wires, no separate screens and all of that. From the older iMac, the newer ones have now got a stunning ramp up in the Display and displays more brighter and more pixels than ever. The newer iMacs come in with the latest 7th Generation i5 and i7 processors, which are best in class now.
You even get storage space with Fusion Drives that are supposedly a hybrid drive that combines a SSD and a regular SATA hard disk. These will now come in the standard configurations as well for the 21.5 inch and the 27 inch displays. The average graphics performance has been scaled up from anywhere between 1.5x the older versions to as good as 3.0x times the performance. This will definitely help gamers. Turbo Boost is expected to be 4.2 Ghz for 21.5 inch models and 4.5 Ghz for 27 inch models.
The storage now supports for 50% faster SSD's and also upto 3TB of hard disk space which is truly unbelievable for the cost. You can now create cutting-edge VR content because it comes in with support for VR where you can edit stuff in 360 Degrees using Final Cut Pro.
2 Thunderbolt ports(USB-C) would be coming in with the standard iMac which are capable of delivering throughputs upto 40GB/s . You can hookup a RAID storage along with 2 5K displays. Its just the beginning . The display panel is 1.4mm thin and about 5mm towards the edges.
The new iMac 21.5 inch comes in at a starting price of $1099, a little bit of a higher model for 21.5 inch comes in at $1299 and the 5K 27 inch iMac comes in at a price of $1799. My suggestion is to go in for the 21.5 inch iMac with 4K display because 5K displays are not fun, when it comes to gaming because the resolution is too high to support games.
Coming to the biggie of them all, the iMac Pro! So firstly I will clarify this point that iMac Pro or the Mac Pro are NOT FOR GAMING. So please get this misconception off that your paying over $3000+ for gaming. No , this is purely for people who work on Designing, Animation, and 3D work, which are highly intensive in CPU, RAM and Graphics.
It comes in with 8, no - wait, 10 no -wait-wait, 18 cores of Xeon Processing Power! Yes you heard me right, upto 18-cores of power packed CPU, which has a turbo boost upto a whooping 4.5Ghz and a cache of 42MB. Apart from this Apple introduced AMD's new line up of Graphics called as Vega Series which was showcased at WWDC 2017 which gives you 11 Teraflops of computing on Single Precision, 22 Teraflops of computing of half precision and a 400GB/s memory speed, which can support 8GB, 16GB or even upto 128GB of RAM at 2666Mhz.
The storage has been made compatible upto 4TB of SSD with a speed of 3GB/s , and also comes in with 4 Thunderbolt -3 USB - C ports, with 10G Ethernet, and also supports N-base T - Industry Standard 1 Gb, 2.5Gb and 5Gb link speeds.
This comes in with a dark space grey colour that looks like a complete beast waiting to unleash. But the pricing has been set at around $4999.
