Hardware and Connections

The desktop combines a 4.5K screen with M6 configurations offering either a 10-core CPU and GPU or 12 cores for each. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 are included.

Apple lists up to four Thunderbolt 4 connections, while 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet is available. Buyers should check the ports and configuration of the particular model they choose.

Apple's Performance Claims

Against the M1 iMac, Apple reports gains of up to 2.5 times in Excel, 3.3 times for Affinity photo editing and 12 times for LM Studio prompt processing. These refer to named workloads and a specific older baseline, not universal speed improvements.

Those figures are manufacturer claims rather than results from Gigabeat testing.

US Pricing and Availability

The 10-core version starts at $1,499 in the US; the 12-core configuration starts at $1,699. Apple schedules customer deliveries and store availability for November 6 following the October 28 pre-order opening.
