Apple has updated its iMac line-up. The new revamped models now get fourth generation Intel quad-core processors, new graphics, next generation Wi-Fi and faster PCIe flash storage options.
The entry-level 21.5-inch iMac will be powered by a 2.7 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor and new Iris Pro graphics that come with Intel's new Haswell chips. The high-end 21.5-inch model and both 27-inch models will feature quad core Intel Core i5 processors up to 3.4GHz and Nvidia GeForce 700 series graphics with twice the video memory. Apple claims that it will offer up to 40 percent faster performance than the previous generation.
Moreover, those looking for ultimate performance can upgrade to quad core Intel Core i7 processors up to 3.5GHz and Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M series graphics with up to 4GB of video memory. Apple has also added support for next generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi to its updated iMac lineup. With the support “ac” draft, iMac claims to offer up to three times faster wireless performance compared to the previous generation.

The updated iMac series also supports PCIe-based flash storage that promises to make Fusion Drive and all-flash storage options up to 50 percent faster. The Fusion Drive option combines the large storage capacity of a hard drive with the high performance of flash to deliver shorter boot times and faster access to apps and files. Customers can also configure their iMac with a 1TB or 3TB Fusion Drive, and all-flash storage options are now available in configurations up to 1TB.
iMac comes standard with 8GB of memory and a 1TB hard drive, and customers can choose to configure their iMac with up to 32GB of memory and up to a 3TB hard drive.
