Apple® today released iMac Pro™, an entirely new product line
designed for pro users who love the all-in-one design of iMac® and
require workstation-class performance. With Xeon processors up to
18 cores, up to 22 Teraflops of graphics performance, and a
brilliant 27-inch Retina® 5K display, iMac Pro is the fastest, most
powerful Mac® ever made. iMac Pro delivers incredible compute power
for real-time 3D rendering, immersive VR, intensive developer
workflows, high megapixel photography, complex simulations, massive
audio projects and real-time 4K and 8K video editing.

iMac Pro, the Most Powerful Mac Ever,
Available Today (Photo: Business Wire)
“iMac Pro combines the incredible design of the iMac with the
most powerful workstation architecture we’ve ever built,” said John
Ternus, Apple’s vice president of Hardware Engineering. “iMac is
the most popular desktop for our pro users due to its amazing
display and elegant design, so we completely re-engineered it to
deliver performance far beyond what anyone thought possible in an
all-in-one.”
Workstation-Class Performance in an iMac Design
With next-generation processors, a stunning Retina 5K display,
the most powerful graphics ever in a Mac, super-fast storage and
advanced I/O, iMac Pro is designed to handle the most demanding pro
workflows and is the first all-in-one built from the ground up to
deliver true workstation-class performance. Featuring an all-new
thermal architecture, iMac Pro delivers up to 80 percent more
cooling capacity in the same amazingly quiet, thin and seamless
aluminum and glass enclosure customers know and love.
Still just 5mm at its edge, iMac Pro comes in a stunning new
space gray finish with a matching Magic Keyboard™, Magic Mouse® and
optional Magic Trackpad®, and features the best Mac display ever,
with 500 nits of brightness, a P3 wide color gamut and support for
over 1 billion colors, delivering an even more vivid and
true-to-life viewing experience. iMac Pro also comes with four
microphones with beamforming technology, a new 1080p FaceTime® HD
camera with enhanced low-light performance, and new speakers that
are up to 50 percent louder.
The Most Advanced Graphics Ever in a Mac
Featuring a next-generation compute core and up to 16GB of
on-package high-bandwidth memory (HBM2), iMac Pro with the Vega GPU
delivers up to an amazing 11 Teraflops of single-precision compute
power for real-time 3D rendering and high frame rate VR. And for
half-precision computation, ideal for machine learning, iMac Pro
delivers up to an incredible 22 Teraflops of performance.
iMac Pro also supports up to 4TB of SSD and up to 128GB of ECC
memory, and with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, can connect up to two
high-performance RAID arrays and two 5K displays at the same time.
For the first time ever on a Mac, iMac Pro features 10Gb Ethernet
for up to 10 times faster networking.
Delivering Power to the Pro
iMac Pro takes Mac performance to a whole new level, even when
compared to our fastest quad-core iMac.*
— 3D designers can visualize huge 3D models and render scenes up
to 3.4 times faster.
— Developers can run multiple virtual machines and test
environments, and compile code up to 2.4 times faster.
— Scientists and researchers can manipulate massive data sets
and complex simulations, visualizing data up to 5 times faster.
— Photographers can work with enormous files and perform image
processing up to 4.1 times faster.
— Music producers can bounce (export) massive multi-track
projects up to 4.6 times faster and use up to 12.4 times as many
real-time plug-ins.
— Video editors can edit up to eight streams of 4K video, or
edit 4.5K RED RAW video and 8K ProRes 4444 at full resolution in
real time without rendering. The iMac Pro can also export HEVC
video 3 times faster.
A New Level of Integration and Security
iMac Pro brings a new level of integration and security to the
Mac with the T2 chip, Apple’s second-generation custom Mac silicon.
By designing and integrating several new controllers — such as the
System Management Controller, image signal processor, audio
controller and SSD controller — T2 delivers new capabilities to the
Mac like enhanced imaging processing for the FaceTime HD camera. T2
also enables a new level of security by including a secure enclave
coprocessor that provides the foundation for new encrypted storage
and secure boot capabilities. Dedicated AES hardware encrypts data
on the SSD without affecting performance, while secure boot ensures
that only trusted software loads at startup.
In addition to the new iMac Pro, Apple is working on a
completely redesigned, next-generation Mac Pro® architected for pro
customers who need the highest performance, high-throughput system
in a modular, upgradeable design, as well as a new high-end pro
display.
Pricing and Availability
iMac Pro is available on December 14, starting at an Apple
retail price of $4,999 (US). More details can be found at

*Testing conducted by Apple in November 2017 using
pre-production 2.3GHz 18-core Intel Xeon W-based 27-inch iMac Pro
systems with 128GB of RAM and pre-production 3.0GHz 10-core Intel
Xeon W-based 27-inch iMac Pro systems with 64GB of RAM, both
configured with Radeon Pro Vega 64 graphics with 16GB of HBM2. For
more details on performance please see apple.com/imac-pro.
