It is also considerably quieter than the previous version thanks to the thermals of the M1 chip and the new cooling system. The logic board and thermals have been dramatically consolidated and reduced in size, so the iMac takes up less space and fits more easily in different places. The M1 chip enables the thinner design introduced with the 24-inch iMac. As with the prior entry-level 21.5-inch iMac models, RAM maxes out at 16GB. The M1 has an 8-core CPU with four high-efficiency cores and four high-performance cores along with an integrated GPU that has up to 8 cores, and it is the same M1 chip that was first used in the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini.Īccording to Apple, compared to the previous generation 21.5-inch model, the M1 iMac offers up to 85 faster CPU performance, up to 2x faster GPU performance, and up to 3x faster machine learning. The M1 chip is Apple's first System on a Chip for the Mac, integrating the CPU, GPU, RAM, and more. The iMac now features an Apple-designed "M1" Arm-based chip, replacing the prior Intel chips, to bring significant speed and efficiency improvements. The 24-Inch M1 iMacĪpple in April 2021 unveiled the new 24-inch M1 iMac, a redesigned desktop machine that comes in a range of fun colors. An M3 iMac won't launch until the end of 2023 at the earliest.įor more on what we expect to see from an upcoming iMac, we have a dedicated guide with all of the rumors that we've heard so far. Though not specified, it's possible that this M3 iMac could be a follow up to the current 24-inch M1 iMac. Rumors are mixed on whether Apple is developing a larger-screened version of the iMac at all, so the company's plans are unclear at this time.Īccording to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is working on a next-generation version of the iMac with an M3 chip.
It is possible that Apple is still working on a larger-screened version of the iMac, but it is now questionable whether such a machine would be positioned as an "iMac Pro" and how it would fit into the current Mac lineup.
Apple was rumored to be working on a "Pro" update to the 27-inch Intel iMac, with the larger machine set to be sold alongside the 24-inch iMac, but Apple in March 2022 discontinued the 27-inch iMac in favor of the Mac Studio and Studio Display.
