Among the many variants of the chipset, the S and Y-Series will reportedly be used for the iMac, while the MacBook Pro will be equipped with the H and U-Series.

For its graphics solution, Apple may turn to AMD's Polaris 10. This new graphics chip offers improved graphics performance and potential reductions in power consumption. More importantly, it could finally bring VR potential to the iMac 2017.
As for the possible price of the rumored iMac 2017, Apply may launch the product at the price tag of $3,199.99. There are also speculations that the iMac will also be given a Pro treatment, which could prove to be the perfect replacement for the Mac Pro.
