Apple released iMac Pro at the beginning of the month, which is a workstation-class desktop that can be upgraded to up to 18-core Intel Xeon processors, top Radeon Pro Vega graphics, 4 TB SSD storage, and 128 GB ECC memory at the highest cost Up to "Guards" of 120,000 yuan (before tax). Apple did not specify which processor iMac Pro would use, but blogger Pike's Universum believed that the model would be powered by Intel's next-generation server-class Skylake-EX and Skylate-EP processors, both based on codecs for the "Purley" platform.

According to the blog claimed that the information from the macOS High Sierra developer Beta in the firmware file, which iMac Pro will use Intel's new server-class LGA3647 Socket, rather than high-end desktop LGA2066 socket. If the news is true, I believe that Apple will really be equipped with iMac Pro server-level Xeon processor, rather than using the company's recently released Core-X series Skylake and Kabe Lake chip (still using LGA2066 socket). You can buy it from electronic components distributor.

The blog also mentioned that the new iMac Pro might use Secure Enclave, which means that the ARM processor will be the same as the Touch Bar MacBook Pro to increase security, and may even bring Touch ID to iMac Pro, but Apple and It is not mentioned in the pre-release.

Why the blog has a say because it disclosed some of the technical indicators of iMac Pro two months prior to its release, including the mention that the device will use Xeon processors, ECC memory, faster SSD storage and AMD graphics cards, Thunderbolt 3 port, but some information is proven not accurate enough.
