According to Digitmes, Apple would be waiting for the new Intel chips to update their new iMacs with quad-core processors. The Cupertino company, according to what’s said in the article, will introduce the new desktops next January. The new processors are optimized energy-wise, for the all-in-one Apple computer: low temperatures thanks to the new energy needs (from 95W to 65W). These seem to be the configurations: a 2.33GHz Q8200 with 4MB L2 Cache, a 2.66GHz Q9400 with 6MB L2 cache and a 2.83Ghz Q9550 with 12MB L2 cache.
Additionally to the two extra-cores, that should already enhance the iMac performance greatly, the systems would have a fast bus of 1333MHz and should be cheaper than the previous dual-core processors used until now.
The choice of these new processors for the desktop lines are, in fact, interesting: the low processor temperatures would reduce the cooling system size, and make the iMacs even thinner, but that’s only a supposition.
We’ll wait on official confirmations.
