What changedEngadget reports that Apple’s new M6 iMac can run on-device AI tasks in LM Studio up to five times faster than the M4 model, or 12 times faster than the M1. The performance figures are Apple’s claims, but they give the previously vague AI pitch a concrete measure.
The 24-inch desktop has a 12-core CPU, 12-core GPU and a dual 16-core Neural Engine. Models start with 16GB of unified memory, with 24GB and 32GB options. Apple says the M6 iMac is available for pre-order from 28 October, starting at $1,499.
Apple’s new Siri AI can answer questions using information in emails and photos, and is also built into Spotlight for answers and follow-up questions. There is a notable regional catch: Apple Intelligence is not yet available in Europe. The AI headline may travel further than the feature itself, at least for now.
