A rumor about new iMacs have been floating around the Internet lately. They mostly agree on this: New design, new internals, thinner and cheaper. It will be launched by mid-October (possibly even at the end of September) This sounds too good to be true, so here are my predictions:
- Core i5 or i7 processor (possibly custom designed by Intel)
- New design
- Slightly thinner, but with better heat dispatch technology
- Blu-ray option
- LED backlight
- AMD 5000-series high end graphics chip, and/or something entirely new from nVidia or Intel
- Slightly cheaper low-end ($100-$200)
If Apple announces an event, I also expect some or all the following:
- A new LED Cinema display (20″ and/or 30″)
- Upgrades to Mac mini (same CPU as new low-end iMac)
- 5000-series GPU option for Mac Pro
- OpenCL and full Grand Central Dispatch support for some of Apple’s software
