After Apple's official announcement last Friday in relation to the HomePod, which unfortunately will be delayed until the beginning of next year, The only new product we'll see from the guys in Cupertino before the start of 2018 will be the new iMac Pro. Therefore, we bring you some interesting data about this new apple device.
For example, as a more surprising detail, the developers Johnathan Levin and Steve Troughton-Smith, have discovered a coprocessor or Alternative processor to the usual Intel mounted in the iMac of the North American company.
This coprocessor, ARM, appears to be a A10 Fusion, which curiously is the same as the iPhone 7. Apparently, this second processor seeks to offer greater control to the user over the operating system. In this way, some of the functionalities that we can perform in this new iMac will be executed with this new processor.
It is understood that with this innovation by Apple, A departure from the usual dependence of the brand's iMacs by the processors of Intel. Perhaps this movement is the beginning of the end of this collaboration agreement that goes back years.
Make no mistake. It is not the first time that Apple mounts a processor other than Intel on their computers. In fact, MacBook Pros with Touch Bar have a processor ARM, Called T1, which executes certain tasks already predefined by software.
In this case, the chip ARM that will mount the new iMac Pro will work as a supplement to the existing chip of Intel. This means that it will provide stability and greater reliability to the new product from the guys on the block, in many of the scenarios that it has to face.
In addition, it has long been rumored that Apple does the same with its computers as with its portable devices, mount your own processors, forgetting about Intel, Qualcomm or any other in the sector. Perhaps this moment is closer than it seems.
If we speculate with this type of modifications that Apple makes to its new iMac 2017, We can say that there is a clear intention on the part of the North American company to dilute the importance it has acquired Intel on their computers over the years. What do you think? We will see what ends up happening.
