With fourth-generation Intel Core processors, faster NVIDIA graphics, Thunderbolt I/O, and an advanced Fusion Drive option, the slimmest iMac yet is also the most powerful.
OS X Mountain Lion makes every Mac intuitive and easy to use. It also makes it simple to find, organize, share, and do just about everything. And thanks to iCloud, it makes your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch work wonderfully together. | ||

![]() | Fourth-generation Intel Core processors. Core i5 and Core i7 processors. The fourth-generation quad-core Intel Core i5 processor - based on the latest Haswell architecture - is standard on iMac. It's available at a clock speed of up to 3.4GHz. Or configure iMac with a quad-core Intel Core i7 at up to 3.5GHz. Since OS X is designed to take advantage of each core, iMac captures every bit of performance from the processor. OS X also supports Hyper-Threading in the Core i7, allowing two threads to run simultaneously on each core - giving you eight virtual cores of processing power.
Say you're using a processor-intensive application like Aperture or Final Cut Pro that benefits from extra power. Turbo Boost 2.0 automatically increases the speed of the active cores, so the Core i7, for example, can offer up to 3.9GHz. And by shifting core frequency in small increments, Turbo Boost allows the processor to manage performance without sacrificing efficiency. All this takes place behind the scenes, so your work - and play - goes smoother and faster. | ||
