iMac is a desktop computer that was designed by ‘Apple’. Apple provides an operating system named Mac OS X andiMac desktops and Macbook lines are using this as operating systems for their hardware.
The all-new iMac provides approximately close to double time processing speed of the existing computers in the market, the graphics on this computer is very much advanced and it also provides the super fast I/O called Thunderbolt. It is very sleek and a fast desktop computer.
1. Features of iMac
- 1.7 times faster
The iMac computer uses the Intel Core i5 as standard for processor configuration but provides the ability to re-configure it with the Intel Core i7 processor as well. The speed of this computer is 1.7 times faster than the other computers with Intel Core i5 and that is one of the main reasons why iMac uses the i5 processors as standard. Speed is the essential and most attractive feature of iMac.
One can go for the configurations of either 21.5″ iMac with 2.5GHz or 2.7GHz processor speed or 27″ iMac with 2.7GHz or 3.1GHz processor speed.
- Turbo Booster
This is one of the special features of iMac that automatically increases the speed of the running cores up to 3.8GHz for the processor-intensive applications that benefit from extra or more power. The processor will be able to manage the performance without affecting the efficiency with the help of turbo boost 2.0. These speed adjustments are taken care internally wherein the user will not even find the difference in the behavior of the computer when these speed adjustments happen.
- Single Chip Micro Architecture
iMac uses the latest Intel Core architecture that has the processor, cache, memory controller and the graphics engine all in a single chip. Due to this, the data need not travel far from place to place when we perform the activities like watching movies, listening to music, processing one’s photos and updating any information in the blogs. This single chip architecture increases the performance and efficiency to a greater extent.
- Integrated Memory Controller
The integrated memory controller is used in the Intel Core architecture to provide a faster connection of around 1333MHz memory directly to the processor along with the 8MB of shared L2 cache, which help the applications run at peak performance. If the access to the memory is faster, then each core will get preferences to work on the data instead of waiting for their turns to come.
- Radeon HD Graphics
This is one of the major features of iMac that provides superior graphics performances for playing 3D games, altering the high definition videos and running designer software’s. The AMD Radeon HD 6970M provides the best graphics performance with the maximum of 2GB of dedicated GDDR5 video memory. These graphics processors provide a very good speed, which is 3 times faster than the other iMac computers.
- Fast Data Transfer
The Thunderbolt technology is the latest that provides fast data transfer and Apple uses this technology in their computers. It has 2 data channels per I/O port 10Gbps each. With this the data transfer is 12 times faster than the FireWire 800 technology. One can connect six devices and a display with these ports in all-new iMac.
2. iMac Improvements
The major improvements of all-new iMac compared to other computers, are below.
- 3 times faster HD Graphics performance.
- Bigger and wider screen displays.
- Uses the quad core Intel Core i5 or i7 processor.
- 25% performance increases.
3. General Observations
There are some general observations about iMac in the web markets. They are,
- There are a lot of iMac offers being rolled out on the web that by purchasing a product, one will be given an iMac as gift after conducting the lucky draw.
- There are so many iMac reviews on many Internet web sites that convey very good feedback about the all-new iMac computer.
- Each and every online iMac review talks about some or the other special features of the all-new iMac.
