The M3 iMac got announced at Apple's 'Scary Fast' event — 3 new features

Apple just dropped a new iMac and it's packed with the next-generation processor: the M3 chip. For the uninitiated, the iMac may seem like nothing more than a monitor, but don't let its sleek display fool you. It's actually an all-in-one PC packed with a processor and graphics, as well as memory and storage.

It's about time that Apple upgraded the M1 iMac, which was introduced at Apple's Spring Loaded event in 2021. Now, we have a refreshed iMac with a wealth of new features. Check out the 3 new features of the new M3 iMac.

3 new features of the M3 iMac

The new iMac is not massively different from the previous version; it features the same size, design, and even the colors have remained the same. Here are three standout features:

  1. That M3 chip

The new M3 chip is Apple's first 3-nanometer chip for desktop computers. It's faster while being less power-hungry. To be precise, an iMac with an M3 chip is up to two times faster than the prior iMac generation with an M1 chip. The star of the show is the new, 10-core GPU, which will bring up to 50% faster frame rates in games. The new iMac also supports up to 24GB of unified memory.

  1. Wi-Fi 6E

One small, but important change for those who need fast wireless connectivity is the freshly added support for Wi-Fi 6E, which enables download speeds that are twice as fast as the previous generation, as well as support for Bluetooth 5.3.

  1. Same starting price

Yes, the new iMac still starts at $1,299.

Other than the above, it's worth noting that the iMac is not available with the new M3 Pro and M3 Max chips. You can only get it with the vanilla M3 variety. And yes, it still only comes in one size – a 24-inch display.

The new iMac can be ordered now and will start shipping on Nov. 7.
