The update will focus more on the processors so if you were hoping for an overhaul in terms of design and features, that is not the case. The iMac will continue to look and feel very much like its predecessors, but will benefit from using Intel’s 9th-gen processors. The 21.5-inch iMac will now feature the use of Intel’s 9th-gen 6-core processors, while the larger 27-inch iMac will feature the use of the same processors, but offer up to 8-cores which according to Apple, makes it 2.4x faster.
The updated iMacs will also feature the use of AMD’s Radeon Pro Vega graphics for those who want to game or get some video editing done, but other than that, we’re afraid there aren’t that many changes made to the computers. There have been rumors that Apple could be exploring a redesign of the iMac, but if they are, it definitely did not show up in this refresh.
