<\/a><\/p>\nApple Announces New iMac With Next Generation Quad-Core Processors, Graphics & Thunderbolt I\/O Technology <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSINGAPORE, Singapore \u2014May 3, 2011\u2014Apple\u00ae today updated its signature all-in-one iMac\u00ae with next generation quad-core processors, powerful new graphics, groundbreaking high-speed Thunderbolt I\/O technology and a new FaceTime\u00ae HD camera. Starting at S$1,648\u00a0the new iMac is up to 70 percent faster and new graphics deliver up to three times the performance of the previous generation.*<\/p>\n
\u201cOur customers love the iMac\u2019s aluminium enclosure, gorgeous display and all-in-one design,\u201d said Philip Schiller, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. \u201cWith next generation quad-core processors, powerful new graphics, Thunderbolt technology and a FaceTime HD camera, we’ve made the world\u2019s best desktop even better.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new iMac features quad-core Intel Core i5 processors with an option for customers to choose Core i7 processors up to 3.4 GHz. These next generation processors feature an integrated memory controller for an amazingly responsive experience and a powerful new media engine for high-performance video encoding and decoding. With new AMD Radeon HD graphics processors, the new iMac has the most powerful graphics ever in an all-in-one desktop.<\/p>\n
iMac is the first desktop computer on the market to include groundbreaking Thunderbolt I\/O technology. The 21.5-inch iMac has a single Thunderbolt port while the 27-inch model features two ports for even greater expansion. Developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple, Thunderbolt enables expandability never before possible on an all-in-one computer. Featuring two bi-directional channels with transfer speeds up to an amazing 10Gbps each, Thunderbolt delivers PCI Express directly to external high performance peripherals such as RAID arrays, and can support FireWire\u00ae and USB consumer devices, and Gigabit Ethernet networks via adapters. Thunderbolt also supports DisplayPort for high resolution displays and works with existing adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA displays. Freely available for implementation on systems, cables and devices, Thunderbolt technology is expected to be widely adopted as a new standard for high performance I\/O.<\/p>\n
iMac includes a built-in FaceTime HD camera and Apple\u2019s innovative FaceTime software for crisp, widescreen video calling the whole family can enjoy. The new camera supports high definition video calls between all FaceTime HD-enabled Macs and standard resolution calls with iPad\u00ae 2, iPhone\u00ae 4, the current generation iPod touch\u00ae and other Intel-based Macs. The iMac continues to feature its signature aluminium and glass design, gorgeous IPS LED-backlit high resolution display, SD card slot and comes with Apple\u2019s innovative Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad.<\/p>\n
Continuing Apple\u2019s commitment to the environment, Apple\u2019s desktop line is a leader in green design. The iMac meets stringent Energy Star 5.2 requirements and achieves EPEAT Gold rating.** iMac features LED-backlit displays that are mercury-free and made with arsenic-free glass. iMac uses PVC-free components and cables, contains no brominated flame retardants, uses highly recyclable materials and features material-efficient system and packaging designs.<\/p>\n
Every Mac comes with Mac OS\u00ae X Snow Leopard\u00ae, the world\u2019s most advanced operating system, and iLife\u00ae, Apple\u2019s innovative suite of applications for creating and sharing great photos, movies and music.
