Intel's Core i3 processor is the new muscle inside the new iMac, Mac Pro

Intel's Core i3 processor is the new muscle inside the new iMac, Mac Pro. Corporate giant Apple is making some major changes in its new iMac and Mac Pro. Reports have surfaced that the company is adding Intel chips to its desktop lineup, which are all the rage in the industry. It is understood that this will give extra strength to the machines.

The company unveiled the updated iMacs on Tuesday. For the first time Apple has adopted Intel's Core i3 processor. However, there are some distinct differences between the i3, i5, and i7 models. Besides, for the first time the Mac Pros tap Intel's most advanced six-core processor.

What is there for the consumers? This and other questions are being debated by people in the industry. Experts feel that a couple processors will make a difference. Core i3/Core i5 Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading will certainly make the system more sturdy. It is too early to know the real result as Apple has gone with Core i3 processors for the first time.

A lot will be known in coming days when people will start using them. The Core i3, as the number suffix indicates, is Intel's low-end core i series desktop processor.

The biggest attraction is the size of the cache memory. There are other salient features like clock (gigahertz) speed and processor core counts.
