There have been no security updates for a couple years and it’s not really tenable for use on the internet. ![]() My old iMac that would only run El Capitan was prepared for burial earlier this week. I guess I’ll just keep going with the old beast for the moment and hope the new processors come out before Apple stop producing security updates for Mojave, which is likely around September of next year. To bring this back on topic with the Arm processors, if they are faster and run cooler than these intel processors they’ll be mighty performers, even at entry level prices. The single core performance is almost twice as fast as my Mac Pro and multicore performance is only about 5% slower, assuming you have an app that takes advantage of all the cores. My father was using a horribly slow 2012 Mac mini, however he hit the panic button with the corona virus thinking it might break down and he’d be left without a working machine, so he ordered the entry level i3 with 8 gigs of ram last Sunday and I ended up installing it for him, while wearing gloves and a face mask on Tuesday.Īs an i3 processor I was expecting it to be pretty rubbish, but I was quite shocked by how fast it is in practice, which was highlighted when I checked out the benchmark scores later on.
