The powerful setup boasts a 27-inch Retina 5K display, up to 18-core Xeon processors and up to 22 Teraflops of graphics computation. Don’t worry if you didn’t know what a Teraflop was; we did the googling. A teraflop is a measure of a computer's speed. It is expressed as a trillion floating point operations per second. Still confused? Let’s just say it is really fast!

But it isn’t just fast, all of this computer wizardry is packed inside a sexy new space gray shell that will transform your workspace. The computer is designed for hard work and has the muscle to do serious advanced graphics editing, virtual reality content creation, and real-time 3D rendering. The powerful package retails at around $5000 USD.

Apple's New Thermal Design

One of the most exciting new features of the iMac Pro is its thermal design.  The new technology allows the iMac Pro to give up to 80 percent more cooling capacity in the same thin and beautiful iMac design. And with this power under the hood, the thermal cooling is necessary; the computer features next-generation Intel Xeon processors up to 18 cores and an all-flash architecture.

“We re-engineered the whole system and designed an entirely new thermal architecture to pack extraordinary performance into the elegant, quiet iMac enclosure our customers love — iMac Pro is a huge step forward and there’s never been anything like it,” said John Ternus, Apple’s vice president of Hardware Engineering.

5k Display

You are only limited by your imagination with this beast as the iMac Pro comes with the new Radeon Pro Vega GPU, the most advanced graphics ever specified by the company.
