so later in 2021 we'll be getting a new chipset what is the apple silicon m1x the
12 core beast from apple we have done the maps and it is a screamer in power one of
the first products to get this chip will be the brand new apple imac m1x desktop model
so we are super excited for the m1x and the new 2021 imac so here are
all the details about design and specs and of course the apple m1x imac release date and price
so if you want to hear the latest gaming news tech news reviews and comparisons hit that subscribe
button followed by the bell so back in november 2020 we saw the release of the new apple silicon
chip the m1 what is now inside the new macbook air mac mini and of course a macbook pro 13 inch model
apple said in the summer that there would be a two year transition of moving all of its macs over to
its own chipset and this includes all the macbooks the mac pro mac mini and of course the imac today
i want to focus more on that new m1x imax coming from apple so then guys just very quickly this

hit that notification bell to find out when we get over 130 000 subscribers if you'll be that lucky
subscriber so straight on to the design before we talk about the tech specs of the m1x the release
date and the price now there is something i need to be clear about with the actual design it is
most likely apple will keep the same design for the first generation m1 imac now the reason behind
this is apple love to upgrade the specs in the old design first before updating to a new design
history has shown us over the last 15 years or so apple always do this first before moving on to a
new design however along with that new design it retains the same specs as the last generation now
i know i'm probably confusing you here so let's try to make this symbol to understand what i mean
let's look at the latest apple event we got the new m1 chipset and technology under the hood
in the macbook pro the air and the mac mini but the actual designs of these models stayed the
same as the previous intel versions and specs that were inside them but then the next generation of
macbooks for example will get a whole new design but the same m1 specs that are in the current
new macbooks now will be in that new design apple have done this many times before for example if
we take a look at the last design macbook pro 13 inch model that came out in 2015 this was the last
of the retina macbook pro that still had all the usual usb ports and everything but it was super
thin those exact specs so i'm talking about the processor the ram the storage options they were
all put in the brand new touch bar 13-inch macbook pro there was no bump up in specs of a new intel
chipset ram or storage upgrades just a new design the actual bump up in specs for the new design
happened the year after again apple have done this in 2012 for example when they transitioned
from the unibody macbook pro so this was the last macbook pro to not have a wrestling display
to the new wrestling display model but again it kept all the same chipset ram amounts and storage
options in that new design as they were in the last of the end of the last design so i think
you're getting the picture here it is very likely the new imac will have the new apple silicon m
chipset technology but the design will stay the same for now until the generation after where we
get a new design but retaining the last apple silicon m chipset so a little more about imax
if you know about imacs you will know there are two different size models there is the 21.5 inch
model and there is also the 27 inch model now it is most likely that the 27 inch model will not
see the new apple silicon m1 chipset in 2021. the reason behind this is just back in august 2020
apple updated the 27 inch model with brand new 10th generation intel processors inside
these imacs tim cook even said that they would be continuing to put intel chipsets in a few of their
mac models over the next year or so and it looks like they have done this with the imacs right now
and then they'll be transitioning them over to apple silicon at a later date
now with the 21.5 inch model this is split into two categories and you have the standard hd imac
and you also have the imac with a retina display or the 4k imac the standard hd imac specs last
got updated in 2017 with a 7th generation intel processor and this is aging quite a bit then the
21.5 inch 4k imac last got updated in early 2019 with an 8th generation intel processor these two
21.5 inch models are most likely going to get the new m1x apple silicone chipset inside them
in 2021. now a lot of you are wondering well how powerful is the m1x going to be as the m1 chipset
is very powerful we're expecting gains of around about 40 percent more speed over the normal m1
let me give you an example why this is most likely the case and why 40 percent if we look at the a12x
in the 2018 ipad pro versus an iphone xs that had the normal a12 inside it you can see that the a12x
is about 40 percent faster than the normal a12 so really what i'm trying to say here is if we
get an m1x inside the new imax it expects it to be around about 40 more faster just like on the a12
to the a12x as a benchmark so like i say again m1x expect it to be 40 faster than the current
m1 chipset for the 27 inch model i believe we won't see a change or upgrade to this design
or to the chipset until the earliest the end of 2021 or most likely the beginning half of 2022
as the imac line and the map pro line are the most powerful macs out there and apples need to
work on their chipset design to make them super powerful for these devices so far we know that
the 21.5 inch imac will get the new apple silicon m1x chipsets inside it but will retain the current
design but just like the current macbook air the 21.5 inch imac may also become the first
fanless imac as well however what about that new design imac in the future and what are we
most likely going to see well it is most likely that apple will altogether drop their standard hd
imac and keep the 4k screen model instead we have heard that the screen will also change in size in
the future to a 24 inch display as the standard smallest display imac in a new design it's also
being said the bezels or the border on this new design around the screen will be much thinner
just like the 16 inch macbook pro on these new imacs at the moment there isn't much being said
for face id being added to the camera setup at the top of the imac however it is possible they may
add this as the touch id would have been put on an external keyboard instead for an imac and i cannot
really see apple wanting to do this so it'll be interesting to see in the future how apple will
handle the security to unlock your imac and also make purchases other features that may potentially
be added to the imac is the possibility of a wireless magsafe charger on the base to charge
your iphone or airpods but i believe these are just rumors at the moment for a feature like this
so take a big hand of salt in your hand from that big salt bag for price wise though of the
21.5 inch model we expect an actual price decrease on the 21.5 inch 4k devices as 4k panels are now
cheaper to buy and having a fan as imac and less parts inside would mean the imac could drop down
by a fair bit in price we predict there will be a 100 price decrease just like the macbook air m1
had so the new starting price for the 4k imac 21.5 model would start at 1399 usd just a quick recap
of when to expect new macs over the next year or so so following the mac mini macbook air and
the 13-inch macbook pro lika minshiku believes the next match again apple silicon processor
will be the macbook pro 16 inch and with that the long rumored 14 inch macbook pro those macs
are unlikely though to be updated until mid 2021 though coup also suggests that these new macbook
pro models won't ship until the late second quarter 2021 or even the third quarter of 2021.
if you're wondering where the mac desktops figure in this lineup what we've been talking about today
ku has made no announcements of relating to apple's man to transition desktop macs such as
the imac just yet with the imac just updated with intel processors in august it does not seem likely
we'll get an update on these macs for a bit of a while yet so as mentioned it seems likely the 21.5
inch imac won't see apple silicon processors until mid 2021 and then the 27 inch model probably in
early 2022 the earliest coup is usually accurate he said back in march 2020 before apple announced
the transition from intel that the new armbase mac could arrive before the end of 2020 and he
was right on the money so are you excited about the new silicon imac line and will you be getting
one soon after launch or will you get something else let me know what model you plan to buy
well guys that is the latest and greatest info we have on the imac apple silicon line at this stage
