Powered by Intel Core i5 and Core i7 quad-core processors, the new iMac is expected to be fast and is said to be 70 percent faster than the previous generation iMac.  The new iMacs use AMD Radeon HD graphics processors.  You can opt for a 16GB of DDR3 memory for a balzing fast computing performance.

There is also a Thunderbolt port which features two 10-Gbps data channels for data transfer that’s up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0.  The Thunderbolt port offers expansion capabilities for peripherals since you can daisy-chain as many as six devices plus a display.

The new iMac’s FaceTime HD camera lets you make FaceTime video calls in 720p resolution. You can make HD calls from an iMac to a MacBook or to other Intel-based Mac computers, and to an iPad 2, an iPhone 4 or an iPod touch.
