Description

The Refurbished iMac 23-Inch Aluminum is powered by a dual core 3.06 GHz Intel “Core i3” I3-540 (Clarkdale) processor with a dedicated 256k level 2 cache for each core and a 4 MB shared level 3 cache. In lieu of a system bus, it has a “Direct Media Interface” (DMI) that “connects between the processor and chipset” at 2.5 GT/s.

Technical Configuration
By default, it is configured with 8 GB of RAM (1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM), a 500 GB (7200 RPM) hard drive, a vertically-mounted slot-loading DVD±R DL “SuperDrive”, and ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics with 256 MB of dedicated GDDR3 memory.

Physical Features 

It also has a built-in iSight video camera and built-in stereo speakers underneath the 23″ glossy 16:9 LED-backlit TFT Active Matrix LCD (1920×1080 native) display “with IPS technology”.

Supersonic Connectivity

Connectivity includes four USB 2.0 ports, a Firewire “800” port, built-in AirPort Extreme, and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as an audio capable Mini DisplayPort, which supports an external display up to 30″ (2560×1600).

Seamless Aluminum Enclosure

Externally, the A1311 iMac line uses the same “edge-to-edge” glass design and seamless all aluminum enclosure as the “Late 2009” models replaced. Internally, however, the A1311 line is equipped with faster processors, faster graphics processors, and faster memory, as well as support for the SDXC SD card format.

The ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics

The ATI Mobilty Radeon HD 4670 from AMD is a DirectX 10.1 middle-class notebook graphics adapter. Technically it is a higher clocked Mobility Radeon HD Radeon 4650. The gaming performance of the GPU lies between the desktop HD 4650 and 4670. Therefore, most DirectX 9 games (like Call of Duty 4, F.E.A.R., or Unreal Tournament 3) should be playable in high details (in 1024×768). Compared to Nvidia graphics cards, the performance should be on par with a GeForce GT 335M (lower synthetic scores but equal gaming performance).

General Specifications:

• Intel Core i3-3.06GHz I3-540
• 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD
• Mac OS X
• ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics
