Report Apple’s iMac Pro will come with always on Siri
Report Apple’s iMac Pro will come with always-on Siri.
Apple is slated to begin shipping its all-powerful iMac Pro desktop computer next month, with options including an 18-core 4.5GHz processor, 11 teraflops of GPU horsepower, and a 5K display. It might also come with a surprise in the form of an A10 Fusion chip, according to reverse engineering expert and author Jonathan Levin.
That’s the same badge as the one on the processor that powered the iPhone 7 from 2016, but the iMac Pro will likely feature a stripped-down edition of it to handle certain macOS security processes, as well as enabling support for an always-on version of Siri on the desktop for the first time ever.
Code referencing the voice assistant was first spotted by iOS developer Guilherme Rambo, when he was combing through BridgeOS 2.0, which is an embedded operating system that will be powered by the new A10 chip.
