Apple is expected to release their new 2012 MacBook Pro and also a new range of iMacs sometime over the next couple of months. We have yet to have any official announcement from Apple on this year’s new iMac and MacBook Pro range.
Now, some benchmarks have been discovered which appear to be for the new 2012 MacBook Pro and also the new iMac. The MacBook Pro was apparently listed with an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7-3820QM quad-core processor clocked at 2.7 GHz, with the reference of MacBookPro9,1.
Next up is a new iMac, with the reference iMac13,2, which is apparently a new 27-inch iMac that will come with an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770 quad-core processor clocked at 3.4GHz.
According to the guys over at MacRumors, both models carry a motherboard identifier which was first discovered in an OS X Mountain Lion developer preview in February.
Expected Features and Enhancements
The 2012 MacBook Pro and iMac are anticipated to come with several enhancements over their predecessors. The inclusion of Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors is expected to provide significant performance improvements, including better energy efficiency and enhanced graphics capabilities. The Ivy Bridge architecture is known for its 22nm process technology, which allows for more transistors on a chip, leading to better performance and lower power consumption.
Additionally, there are rumors that the new MacBook Pro might feature a Retina display, similar to the one found on the iPhone and iPad. This would provide users with a much higher resolution screen, making text and images appear sharper and more vibrant. The new iMac is also expected to come with improved display technology, possibly featuring anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare and improve visibility in bright environments.
Potential Release Timeline
We have no idea when Apple will launch these new MacBook Pros and iMacs, although we can probably expect them to go on sale sometime in June or early July. Historically, Apple has often chosen to release new hardware around the time of their Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which typically takes place in June. This timing would allow Apple to showcase their latest innovations to a large audience of developers and tech enthusiasts.
In addition to the hardware upgrades, the new MacBook Pro and iMac are likely to come with the latest version of macOS, which will bring new features and improvements to the overall user experience. The integration of hardware and software is one of Apple’s strengths, and the new devices are expected to take full advantage of the latest advancements in macOS.
The anticipation for these new devices is high, as Apple fans and tech enthusiasts eagerly await the official announcement. The combination of powerful new processors, potential display enhancements, and the latest software updates make the 2012 MacBook Pro and iMac highly anticipated releases.
