Apple’s pro-oriented all-in-one desktop, the iMac Pro, is set to launch this Thursday on December 14, 2017. To learn what to expect from the iMac Pro you can read our full breakdown of everything we know about iMac Pro so far.
The iMac Pro is the first iMac to sport 8-, 10-, and 18-core variants, making it easily the most powerful Mac computer on the market today. Apple also appears to be launching a surprise 14-core variant, which gives users even more options to balance price and performance.
The machine will also come with up to 128 GB of ECC DDR4 2666MHz RAM, up to 4 TB of storage, and the option of configuring a 16GB Vega 64 GPU.
From Apple:
Already, a few popular video tech journalists have received some hands-on time with Apple’s powerful new desktop, including our friends Marques Brownlee and Jonathan Morrison. I’ve embedded both of their videos below:
Some notes from the videos:
Apple is shipping a special black USB-A to Lightning cable with the iMac Pro. This cable is used to connect/pair/charge the new Space Gray Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard.
The 14- and 18-core iMac Pro won’t be available until later in 2018, but the 8- and 10-core variants will be available for order on December 14th. The 14-core iMac Pro wasn’t known about until today, but it makes sense considering that Intel’s 14-Core W-class Xeon processor is already a part of its existing lineup.
Of course, we will have much more about the iMac Pro in the coming days and weeks, including price details, which have still yet to be revealed outside of the $4999 baseline 8-core version. After seeing it on video, have your plans changed with regard to purchasing one?
