New high-performance technologies. 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.
With Mavericks, the Mac experience gets even better. It brings new apps to your desktop. Adds features you'll love to use. And introduces technologies that help your Mac perform even better—while using even less power. And for the first time, it's available as a free upgrade from the Mac App Store for supported Mac models. | ||

 | Fourth-generation Intel Core 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 1.4GHz. 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.

 | Faster Fusion Drive. Available as a configurable option, Fusion Drive provides up to 50 percent faster performance. It's a breakthrough concept that combines the high storage capacity of a traditional hard drive with the high performance of flash storage. With Fusion Drive in your iMac, disk-intensive tasks — from booting up to launching apps to importing photos — are faster and more efficient. That's because frequently used items are kept at the ready on speedy flash storage, while infrequently accessed items go to the hard drive. The file transfers take place in the background, so you won't even notice. As the system learns how you work, Fusion Drive makes your Mac experience even better. | ||
 | 802.11ac Wi-Fi. With three-stream 802.11ac technology, iMac takes desktop Wi-Fi speeds over the top. When it's connected to an 802.11ac base station - including the new AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule - you can reach data rates of up to 1.3 Gbps. That's triple the previous 802.11n standard, which means you'll get up to three times faster Wi-Fi. You also get double the channel bandwidth, with 80MHz-wide channels providing more room for more data to flow faster than ever. | ||
 | Thunderbolt I/O. With one tiny port, you get superfast data transfer speeds and huge expansion capabilities. Thunderbolt features two 10-Gbps data channels per port, which means data transfer is up to twice as fast as USB 3 and up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800. And don't worry about a single drive or peripheral tying up a Thunderbolt port: You can daisy-chain as many as six devices plus a display. All iMac models include two Thunderbolt ports for even more expansion possibilities. |
