Apple iMac 2017 is one of the most highly anticipated 2 in 1 devices this year. However recent reports claim that there's a huge probability that Apple might use AMD's latest RYZEN chipset for the iMac 2017 in the place of Intel's i7 chips.
As per the Architosh , AMD RYZEN 7 1800x hasn't only set a new record in a CPU performance benchmark, however it has also beat the Intel i7 when it comes to performance per watt. AMD's new chips also agree with Apple's shift to centre its focus more on the energy consumption as compare to maximum performance.
The report also claims that AMD's RYZEN 7 is "extremely Apple-esque," as the chips are able to deliver great performance at a much smaller wattage. The RYZEN 7 1800x and the 1700x boast thermal design points of 95W when compared to 140W for Intel's i7.
However the real advantage that AMD RYZEN chips in the iMac 2017 will be focused mostly on the cost factor. At just $499, the AMD RYZEN 7 1800x performs better than the Intel i7 that is priced at $1,089. As per Macworld, if Apple was said to use AMD's chips for its iMac 2017 then it would probably be on certain iMac models.
The AMD Ryzen's in the iMac 2017 will also bring the potential of a VR experience that is the feature which has long been demanded, according to PC Advisor. The new upcoming iMac 2017 will be getting the most important upgrades starting with an OLED Touch Bar which is borrowed from the MacBook Pro.
For the release of iMac 2017, Macworld claims that that it's possible for the new models to be announced during this month. But without any formal announcement from Apple, it is just a rumor.
