I don't think they'll release an iMac in 2013. Broadwell is just a year after that.
Processors typically make big improvements every other year. Ivy Bridge was the comparatively small update.

I'm so fed up of waiting... Hope there's some more rumors this weeknot just Samsung trial and iPhone stuff - so bored..
With all the leaks of the iPhone i still don't understand what is significantly new compared to the 4s...
screen lamination issues
.. except for the fact that Ivy Bridge wasn't out yet. But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Ivy Bridge was released in March, along with multiple Windows laptops and desktops featuring the processors.
Everyone block "forty2j", clearly he knows nothing about macs or computer hardware.
What issues? They have been making the screens for the last 2 years.
Wow, i'm not on here even 1 day and the poorly educated people are already attacking my facts with their poorly informed opinions.

Ivy Bridge was released in April, not March
Thank you, I'm glad more people will be ignoring the ignorance of forty2j.Wow, I can't get through one day without seeing poorly educated people that think they are educated go around spreading false facts.
That is false information.As the above poster rightly mentioned, Ivy Bridge Processors were released in april.
If you want to "hang" with the ignorant people, feel free!Perhaps we should "block" you instead?
Sorry forty2j, I don't view dumb posts.forty2j

Hello All,
I was interested to see who here is still patiently waiting for the supposed 2012 iMac, or has hopped on the Hackintosh bandwagon? I have been following this website for sometime now:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/100-building-customac-buyer-s-guide-2012.html
They have some really great custom builds there, with native Ivy Bridge, Thunderbolt, and Nvidia Kepler desktop graphics support, all running under the awesomeness of Mountain Lion. A moderately powerful build will run you around $1600, throw in a decent Dell monitor, and you're looking at $1900-2000 total. Not bad at all considering the raw performance you obtain with such a rig, and the ability to boot both OSX and Windows. I am eagerly awaiting the new iMac, but I dare to admit, I am easily tempted at the thought of building my own gaming/computing rig that could run both OSes. Anyone here have any experience with Hackintoshes? I know there's few tinkering involved as far as settings and drivers/kexts and what have you, and there's also the issue of aesthetics (I personally love the simplicity of the iMacs all in one, and prefer that over all the wires, clutter, and wasted space that comes with having a huge tower, monitor, and speakers), but these appear to be minute annoyances, and the stability of such systems are much improved and have come along way. If I were to build, I would follow the guide exactly and select the recommended/compatible hardware. I have a MacBook Air as a backup machine if anything goes wrong. What do you guys think? Is is better off just avoiding this headache altogether and just waiting for the new iMac? (which is a headache in and of itself!)
Incorrect. It was released in March and became available to consumers in April.

The public release date and date chips are supplied to computer manufacturers are very different.
What issues? They have been making the screens for the last 2 years.

Go for the hackintosh! I did and I'm glad I did! I followed the tonymacx86 buyers guides and looked at the golden builds on the site and everything went smoothly. It's really not a headache, all you need is a free day on the weekend and you can knock it out. From start to finish it probably took me 5 hours. Around 2 hours for the build itself and then the rest of the time was installing OSX and troubleshooting a few minor issues.
You sir, are not a mac. You make me sick.

There is your fault.What issues? Issues reported by a very reliable source according to Mac rumors and other rumors sites.
Sorry, there has been zero evidence to support that claim. Not even so much as a differently shaped cable.Thats true that means theres gonna be a new screen and with that a new design"
My what start talking?Ps. Read recent rumors before your start talking.
I have had a hackintosh for about 3 years.
Insulting me for no reason on multiple different threads is just becoming annoying. I appreciate your opinion but its stupid to just attack someone based on their choice of computer. I don't know where you got your sense of superiority but please keep it to yourself.
