Despite an earlier rumor, no redesigned 2020 iMac was shown at this year’s WWDC keynote, but that doesn’t mean Apple isn’t expected to make an announcement later this year, whenever that might be. Thanks to a new benchmark leak, potential internal specifications expected to be found in Apple’s upcoming all-in-one have been detailed, leading to the assumption that Apple may be using a custom part from Intel.

A fresh Geekbench leak lists the 2020 iMac’s processor as a Core i9-10910 with 10 cores, 20 threads, and a base clock speed of 3.60GHz. There’s no such part listed on Intel’s website, with only one Core i9-10910 listed with a base frequency of 2.80GHz, not 3.60GHz. Tipster _rogame questions if this could be a ‘special 95W’ part Intel designed for Apple’s iMac, resulting in a slight increase in performance. The one with the 2.80GHz base frequency features a 65W TDP, and it’s possible Apple wanted to avoid the 125W models altogether to control the thermals, thereby opting for perhaps a 95W part.
