First up, there are rumors surrounding a possible update to the iMac line of desktops. Supposedly, the iMacs were supposed to get Blu-ray drives, but that may have been nixed very recently. Also, Intel’s new Core i7 quad-core mobile processors are rumored to power the new desktops. These “Clarksfield” chips come in 1.6Ghz, 1.73Ghz and 2.0Hz variants.

Second, rumors are heating up about the next Mac Pro coming with Core i9 6-core Xeon chips from Intel. These “Gulftown” chips will have 12MB of L3 cache and support 10Gbit internet and 16GB RAM sticks. That means that a maxed out Mac Pro could potentially have 12 cores and 128GB of RAM. It is also very likely that the new chips will be exclusive to Apple for a few months, just like with previous Mac Pros.
