So, the rumours are true. During Apple’s Scary Fast event, the company launched the new 24-inch iMac with M3 chips. That said, what should you know about it?
According to Apple, the M3 chips are faster and more efficient compared to their predecessors. Design-wise, it retains the same exterior frame as the previous models. It also features the same resolution as the previous iMac - 4.5k.
These specs look pretty solid
The main highlights? It’s the processing power for the new iMac. For your information, the M3 chips were based on the A17 Pro Bionic chips used in the iPhone 15 Pro. It’s also the first Apple chip for Macs based on the 3-nanometer architecture. Like the A17 Bionic SoC, the new M3 chips also support hardware ray tracing.
In addition, Apple says the M3 SoC is 30% faster than the M1 and 15% faster than the M2. Thanks to this tech, the M3 chips offer better performance with lesser power usage. That makes it the most efficient processor from Apple so far. Plus, the new iMac only offers the standard M3 chip. As of now, there are no iMacs that feature the M3 Pro or M3 Max chips.
You can choose from either 3 setups for your preferences
The standard iMac with an M3 chip will run an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU with 256GB storage. The price for the device starts from RM6299 onwards. You can pre-order it from Apple’s website starting today. However, there are no official delivery dates as of now. So, you could expect the deliveries around 7 November 2023.
