Intel Core i5 and i7 Processors 2011

New Quad-Core Intel Core i5 and i7 Processors 2011. New Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processors are standard on the new iMac. Select a 21.5-inch iMac with 2.5 GHz or 2.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. Or expand the view with a 27-inch iMac with a 2.7GHz or 3.1GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. You can even use the fastest quad-core processor available iMac - Intel Core i7. All models use sophisticated recent chipsets from Intel. This means that the new iMac is almost twice as fast as the previous generation, a new dimension of speed on everything you do. And because Mac OS X is designed to meet key advantages of each, made every last bit of performance of the processor.

Turbo Boost 2.0.
Imagine that with a processor-intensive applications like Aperture or Final Cut Pro 3, the services of extra power. 2.0 Turbo Boost speed will automatically increase the active cores - up to 3.8 GHz. And by shifting the core frequency in small steps, Turbo Boost the performance of the processor can manage without sacrificing efficiency. This all happens behind the scenes to save your work (or play) faster and smoother.

Faster single-chip micro-architecture.
A movie, update your blog, edit photos. Tasks, such as data needed to travel from place to place. The latest Intel Core architecture, the processor, cache, memory controller and graphics engine on a single chip. Since the data does not travel far, you get better performance and higher efficiency.

Integrated memory controller.
Faster access to memory, each core will have the right to work on your data, instead of waiting for it arrive. Therefore, Intel Core architecture, an integrated memory controller to quickly 1333MHz memory directly to the processor. Along with up to 8 MB L3 cache that your applications can run at top performance.

Advanced AMD Radeon HD graphics card.
If you need power for things like 3D games, HD video editing or design software is active, the discrete Radeon HD graphics card to work in the iMac. You can get more frames per second, and better responsiveness. The AMD Radeon HD 6970M, the top-of-the-line 27-inch iMac is the best graphics of all-in-one. But what iMac you, you are assured of outstanding graphics performance. With up to 2 GB of GDDR5 memory dedicated to these processors offer up to 3x faster than the previous generation.

Thunderbolt. Data transfer is fast.
Thunderbolt technology is there - and Apple computers are the first to have it. With a small port, you get a lightning-fast speeds and great expansion options. Two 10-Gbps data channels per port, you mean the data transfer up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 And put not a single hard drive or peripheral port Thunderbolt worry: You can daisy chain as many as six units and a display. The 27-inch iMac has half Thunderbolt port for further expansion. Connection of up to six different devices or a display or two.
