We already have the result for A12Z in iPad Pro and it's 1118/4626. Single-core is great. They have to double the multi-core to reach 8289 by i9-9900K but there are many solutions to achieve that. :)
I know, but am a bit uneasy about these results as it seem to be a hack os some kind. I like it reproduced ina vanilla config before I believe it. At any rate reaching 10900K is no problem.

If I'm making music in Logic Pro and I can run 80 tracks...and then the AS chip comes along in the new 27" AS imac and I can only run 70 tracks.......That will be a problem.

The single core score is there...it's the multi-core score that needs some work, which should be where it needs to be within 2 years.

* I'm going 2020 Intel imac....and then in 2025 I'll get an AS imac hopefully at 32"...........By then they will be in full stride with the AS and they will be that much better.

I enjoy real world use talk over all this other ******** so much. <3
 
I think I'm going to give up and buy a Mac Mini, I already have a decent Dell 1440p monitor for work so saves some desk space. I'd love nothing more than a freshly designed iMac that can be used as an an external monitor like the 2009/2010 models could but there is no chance of that happening.

Why purchase a full fledged computer just to use it for a screen ? lol.

And no, no chance for that to happen. Apple uses a custom display controller which prevent this kind of thing.

So I needed to pull the trigger on a computer with school coming up. Went with the base 27” with an SSD upgrade. Just saw online that the status says “Product selection being reviewed. Additional information will be emailed”. Not sure what that is for. Has anyone seen this status before?

I wouldn't be using it "just as a screen", it would allow me to get rid of the monitor I need for working from home.
My 2009 iMac setup was perfect, work computer was connected with dp and a keyboard shortcut switched display between iMac and PC.
I ****ing hate Apple for removing it in later models.

I googled the phrase and all i found was this post about apple phasing out the option to order prints from iPhoto.


So it might suggest that a new product is imminent as the Apple offline store restock dates for all of Europe suggest.

Seems you will get an instant upgrade to 2020 model.

Did you order through some educational or something discount? As I think that is what is causing this. Not an update.

However, (and DrRadon will LOVE THIS!) I've noticed yesterday that Apple completely changed availability on all models except top 27". 21.5 is ready 1-2 days and 27" is 1-2 weeks except the top model which is still 8-9 weeks.

Is it the 9th gen version that is in low stock or is this finally the signal DrRadon was waiting for :D :D :D

A new iMac? Your order status is not among the ones below. As Freida said it may also be because of some discount or other special treatment:

It was with an educational discount. Maybe that’s it.
 
So, for 27” it will be released in 2021 March probably, because Tim ******* Apple. I’ll order beer to everyone for free when this greedy disgusting CEO will be fired or left Apple.

Yes, the "greedy CEO" wants to artificially deflate Mac sales when they're at their strongest because I guess he's had his fill and doesn't think Apple needs any more money? :rolleyes:
