news 28 Posted January 5, 2009 The MacWorld Expo starts this week and once again rumors are swirling about potential new products being announced at the show. We have some exclusive information on the new iMacs and Mac Mini that will be announced as well as the potential for a new 28" iMac model and a new Mac Pro machine.

This new hardware shift would give the 28" iMac a significant performance improvement over the other models with support for up to eight threads (quad-core CPU with HyperThreading enabled) of computing power, triple-channel memory support with an integrated memory controller running at DDR3-1333 speeds and more. Because the X58 chipset does not include any kind of integrated graphics, discrete GPUs from NVIDIA are likely to be used. With two different 28" iMac models I would expect to see both using GeForce mobility 9800M solutions though with a higher priced model using faster clocks and more memory." Thanks for a post!
