Currently there is much uncertainty about the releases that Apple will make without any fixed schedule. That is why we have been quite surprised that Apple today has officially launched the new iMac 2020. In this article we show you all the news that this new team includes.
characteristics
Apple has not wanted to make a great revolution in the world of iMac since only one update has been made to iMac 27 ″. As predicted by technology guru Prosser, it has not opted for a redesign while maintaining exactly the same design. It is clear that they want to wait for when the ARM processors that were announced in the last WWDC were included.
Processor
The processor is the soul of iMac as they are designed to offer the best performance to professionals. The latest Intel processors with up to 10 cores with a speed that can reach 5 GHz have been included in this renovation. This means that the processing power has increased 65% in Logic Pro or 40% in Final Cut. All of these percentages have been calculated by comparing with the 27 ″ iMac with 8-core CPU. Specifically, it is talking about the tenth generation processors of Intel that are the most advanced at present.
Along with the CPU it is important to have a good capacity of RAM since some professional programs require it. That is why the board now supports up to 128 GB of RAM.
Graphic card
The graphics card is another essential component in a professional device. Included in this new 27 ″ iMac are the latest AMD graphics available. It offers a performance that is 55% faster than the graphics of the Radeon Pro 5000 series. Specifically, it is possible to personalize the equipment with a Radeon Pro 5700 or Radeon Pro 5700 XT graphics.
Display and storage
The screen of this iMac continues to improve with 14.7 million pixels, one billion colors or 500 nits of brightness . The monitor can be configured with the nano-texture option already introduced in the Pro Display XDR. With this technology, images can be viewed in low light conditions without any problem. An extremely low reflectivity result is given while avoiding glare from the Retina 5K display. Crowning this screen is a camera that has improved in quality in the end. Traditionally a 720p camera was included, but with this new iMac a 1080p Full HD camera is included. This greatly improves the quality of the images taken for videoconferencing. The processing of the images is done through the T2 security chip that offers a tone mapping, exposure control and detection of restros to have a higher quality. This chip also enables much higher image quality than normal for deeper bass.
The included SSD storage drives now have higher quality. Up to 3.4 GB / s performance is offered to launch applications and open files much faster. Higher quality data encryption is provided with the Apple T2 security chip. It is also verified with this chip that the software that is being loaded at startup is completely accurate.
Price and availability
These new 27 ″ iMac are available today through the Apple Store Online with a base price of € 2099 the most basic version with a six-core Intel Core i5 processor. In the case that you want the version that has a ten-core Intel Core i9 processor, you must pay a total of € 2924. Having the maximum RAM possible means that you have to make a payment of € 3,250 and if you want the maximum SSD storage, of 2 TB, the difference is € 750. In the event that you want to have a nanotextured glass, you must pay € 625.
