A lot of people are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Apple's "iMac 2017," which is rumored to come out this year. Though no official word yet on its specs, it's rumored that the high-end variant will feature server grade components and the device will be considered "a beast machine."
According to a report from Digital Trends, the current lineup of iMacs is already almost two years old, which meant they're already behind when it comes to specs and features. But Apple is planning to change that with the next generation of iMacs.
The report said that the high-end version of the Apple "iMac 2017" is said to have an error correcting code memory, or an ECC RAM. The RAM is designed to protect a device's memory from single-bit memory errors that are likely caused by cosmic rays.
Other causes of single-bit memory errors are radioactive decay and electrical interference. This kind of error is a big problem for users who are always handling financial records or scientific data, which are considered as highly sensitive data.
Aside from server-grade components, the iMac 2017 is also rumored to feature powerful specs, to which MobiPicker is saying will make the latest iMac "a beast machine." One of the rumored specs is that the display of the "iMac 2017" will be able to support an 8K display, which will benefit creative professionals if this is true.
The report said that the "iMac 2017" is also said to be powered by the Intel Xeon E3-1285 V6 processor and have 64GB of ECC RAM. It is also said to have 2TB of NVM Express PCI-e solid state storage, for more storage space for users, especially professionals. A desktop-class GPU is also expected to be installed, which will allow the latest iMac to compete against many existing desktops in the market.
Now all of these are just rumors at this point, as Apple has been tight-lipped at what they'll be incorporating in the "iMac 2017. With the latest iMac expected to launch late in 2017, it's likely that Apple will be providing more details about the machine in the next few months.
