New processor architecture.
Now all iMac models come standard with Intel Core processors built on a new architecture. Based on Intel’s 32-nanometer process technology, these processors set new benchmarks for iMac performance.
Quad-core power.
The available quad-core Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor in the 27-inch iMac puts four processing cores on one die, so data doesn’t have to travel far to get from core to core.
Turbo Boost.
Many iMac models now benefit from Turbo Boost technology built into the Intel Core series processors. If you’re using a processor-intensive application such as Aperture 3 or Final Cut Pro that benefits from extra performance, Turbo Boost dynamically increases the speed of available cores.
Discrete graphics for everyone.
Every iMac includes powerful discrete graphics, meaning the graphics processor is separate from the CPU. So whether you’re an amateur filmmaker or an avid gamer, iMac gives you faster, smoother, crisper graphics no matter which model you choose. |

Built for more cores.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard is designed to take advantage of the advanced multicore processor architecture, so every Intel processor reaches its full potential on iMac.
Viewing and editing photos.
The new iMac is fast at importing photos and performing basic editing tasks — things like removing red-eye and erasing small blemishes — in iPhoto. And it delivers excellent performance for professional applications such as Aperture.
Productivity.
iMac makes quick work of work. Create complex transitions in a Keynote presentation. Add 3D charts to a Numbers spreadsheet. Design a beautiful document in Pages. Powerful Intel processors across the iMac line make iWork fast and responsive.
Start with advanced graphics.
The 21.5-inch iMac offers fast graphics performance with either the ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256MB of dedicated memory or the ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB of memory. Which one is right for you? The greater the memory, the faster the performance for graphics-intensive applications such as games and video editors.
