Moguce da ce u novom iMac-u da budu low-power Core 2 Quad cipovi sa TDP-om od 65W koji su najavljeni pre par dana.
Soon a revelution for the iMacs?
A new rumour implies that Apple could make a small revolution with its next range of iMacs.
Currently, these machines are designed by the engineers at Apple to be like 'office portables', using many the components intended for the mobile machines. This allows them to be very thin, making them appear as being just a screen.
This rumour announced that Apple could give up this approach and use the Core i7 architecture of the desktop machines. Although we are skeptical on this change of direction, it does make sense in the current context for the following advantages:
- For the first time since ages, certainly since Apple moved to the Intel processors, there is a marked difference between its two product ranges (office and mobile). If the desktop machines pass to Nehalem, the portables will still have to wait a year for this change of architecture.
- The Nehalem architecture brings a real plus in term of performances.
- It has the merit, even on the office machines to bring under control the use of its Intel components.
- These processors all have 4 cores, which will soon become the basic reference in data processing.
Approaching this from another viewpoint, progressively during its evolutions, the iMac has passed from the role of a toy machine - a poor man's Mac, to that of machine of the main office, while the Mac Pro has climbed more and more in the range so as to appeal only to the most demanding of the professionals. It is thus important that this iMac remains at the peak of power. In exchange, it would certainly be obliged to be thicker since one needs to place bulkier components and especially to re-examine the cooling system so that it can dissipates effectively and silently the additional heat.
If Apple goes in this direction, we would have another reason to be happy. The Mac mini would be different enough not to create a shadow on the iMac, thus the Mac mini would not have to stay as the poor relation and badly-liked model. It could thus have a normal life and evolve at the same rate as that of the portables with which it will continue to share its platform.
Moguće je da će Mini da dobije MHD4500 Intel grafiku
