iMac M3

MacBook Pros aren’t the only Macs getting the M3 family of chips upgrade. Apple is also bringing its new hyper-powered silicon chips to the 24-inch iMac.

Supercharged by M3

The M3 chip features an 8-core CPU, up to a 10-core GPU, and support for up to 24GB of unified memory. It’s up to 2x faster than the previous generation with M1. Users will feel the speed and power of M3 in everything they do, from multitasking across everyday productivity apps to exploring creative passions like editing high-resolution photos or multiple streams of 4K video.

Featuring the next-generation GPU of M3, iMac supports hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing. This provides more accurate lighting, reflections, and shadows for extremely realistic gaming experiences. This also makes three-dimensional design and creation even faster.

With a 16-core Neural Engine and the latest media engine, iMac also delivers blazing machine learning and video performance.

The iMac delivers phenomenal productivity to small businesses, students, gamers, and everyday consumers. The M3-powered iMacs enables the following:

  • Safari, the world’s fastest browser, performs up to 30 percent faster.
  • Productivity apps like Microsoft Excel perform up to 30 percent faster.
  • Games load even faster, and users will experience up to 50 percent faster frame rates.

From content creation to video editing or photography, iMac is perfect for aspiring creatives.

  • Edit and play back up to 12 streams of 4K video, which is 3x more than before.
  • Produce video projects in Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro up to 2x faster.
  • Process photos in apps like Adobe Photoshop up to 2x faster.

Everything you love from the iMac is still here

Standout features from this Apple All-in-one are still present.

Expansive Retina display — 24-inch, 4.5K Retina display with 11.3 million pixels, a P3 wide colour gamut, over a billion colors, and 500 nits of brightness.

Advanced connectivity — Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, four (4) USB‑C ports, including two Thunderbolt ports, and support for Gigabit Ethernet standard on select models; and up to a 6K display.

Camera, mics, and speakers — 1080p FaceTime camera and studio-quality mics. It also has a six-speaker sound system with support for Spatial Audio when playing music or video with Dolby Atmos.

Standout design — Still in green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver. Still strikingly thin at just 11.5 millimetres.

AMD expands Ryzen PRO 9000 series processor lineup

AMD brings 3D V-Cache technology to commercial segment

By

AMD has announced an expansion of its enterprise desktop lineup with new Ryzen PRO 9000 Series processors. These are built on the Zen 5 architecture and set to debut in the second half of 2026.

This is the first time AMD is bringing its high-bandwidth 3D V-Cache technology into the commercial workstation segment.

This way, the company unlocks massive performance leaps for data-heavy professional industries.

The introduction of 3D V-Cache directly targets power users handling complex, intensive digital pipelines.

By vertically stacking additional last-level cache directly onto the processor die, the hardware drastically cuts down memory latency and accelerates data access.

Primary beneficiaries of this architecture are creative and technical professionals, including:

  • video editors and animators
  • 3D artists and VFX creators
  • engineers and architects
  • developers and data scientists

The expanded hardware lineup spans configurations from six to 16 performance cores. Power limits break past traditional limits, or up to a sustained 170 watts to maintain peak clock speeds during overnight renders.

The range also makes the lineup scalable from compact desktop systems to full-scale tower workstation systems.

The AMD Ryzen PRO 9000 series also supports up to 256GB of memory to prevent system crashes. Enterprise system rollouts are expected to begin later this year.

AMD to bring FSR Upscaling 4.1 to RDNA 3 GPUs this July

Better visuals for players on PC, consoles soon

May 20, 2026

AMD has announced through Senior Vice President and General Manager Jack Huynh that FSR 4.1 upscaling technology is coming to RDNA 3 GPUs this July.

Huynh confirmed that Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards, among other older graphics architectures, will receive the update in July. Older RDNA 2 cards will also benefit in early 2027.

The decision directly benefits budget-conscious PC gamers and handheld console users who have opted out of expensive hardware upgrades. Instead of having to purchase new GPUs, they will simply have to download the software driver.

FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) 4.1 marks a major shift for AMD. It introduces a machine learning-powered algorithm that replaces traditional analytical upscaling.

By updating their software drivers, users can access cleaner image reconstruction, reduced motion ghosting, and better performance with FSR Upscaling 4.1 across more than 300 supported gaming titles on their RDNA 3 graphics.

Beyond desktop players, the rollout carries significant implications for the wider gaming ecosystem.

Devices like the ROG Ally X and Lenovo Legion Go run on RDNA 3 integrated graphics. This means handheld gamers will see immediate frame rate and visual fidelity improvements this summer.

Furthermore, current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as Valve’s Steam Deck, rely on RDNA 2 architecture. This means AMD’s early 2027 roadmap lays the groundwork for massive visual optimization across the entire console market.
