Apple has unveiled its most powerful iMac yet, featuring the company’s own M1 processor and a new cutting-edge thin design.
“M1 is a gigantic leap forward for the Mac, and today we’re excited to introduce the all-new iMac, the first Mac designed around the breakthrough M1 chip,” said Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Market Greg Joswiak.

The new iMac will be offered in seven colours, with a larger display and assortment of hardware improvements which Apple said “takes everything people love about iMac to an entirely new level”.
Because Apple used its own processor for this iMac, it was able to leverage better efficiency and heat management than on previous chips.
As a result it was able to achieve a new design that is just 11.5 millimeters thin.

On top of this, Apple said the new chip provided 85% better performance than the processor used in the previous 21.5-inch iMac.
It also offered two times faster graphics than the discrete GPUs in the previous model in certain applications, with three times faster machine learning in apps that use the M1’s 16-core neural engine.
