Apple’s “Scary Fast” event brought a Halloween treat for enthusiasts of Mac desktops. As anticipated, the 24-inch iMac is receiving a significant performance boost, thanks to Apple’s latest innovation, the M3 chipset. According to the event presentation, this new model promises to be up to twice as fast as its predecessor, which featured the M1 chipset. For users transitioning from an Intel-based iMac, the speed leap is even more remarkable, with the new model offering up to 2.5 times the performance of some of the most popular 27-inch iMac models.
The M3 chipset packs a punch with an eight-core CPU and a robust 10-core GPU. Graphics enthusiasts will appreciate the support for hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray-tracing. Furthermore, this powerhouse boasts a 16-core Neural Engine and the ability to handle up to 24GB of unified memory.
