Related: About this forumAnyone have info on the Haswell chip and new Imac models coming out soon?
http://www.redmondpie.com/new-haswell-imacs-and-macbook-pros-arriving-in-next-couple-of-months-report/Intels astonishingly efficient Haswell processors have already worked wonders for the 2013 MacBook Air range, and KGI Securities Ming-Chi Kuo one of the more reliable Apple analysts out there seems to believe the iMac could be the recipient of the new chip in a refresh set to roll out as early as next month. Furthermore, Kuo also believes Apple plans to roll out new MacBook Pros in September, which are also expected to be powered by Haswell.
The MacBook Airs battery life has been significantly enhanced by the power-efficient Haswell processor, and although the upgrade wont be of a great deal of significance to the iMac Haswells overall performance is comparable to Intels Ivy Bridge processor introduced to the mainstream last year the MacBook Pro range would be grateful recipients of this heavily researched technology.

No it won't. If august is true, then it will ship with Mountain Lion, not Mavericks.

Haswell-powered iMacs could hit in late Aug., followed by new MacBook Pros in mid-Sept.

and wondering if Haswell means having to buy new software. Arg.

And even if it was Mavericks, it's still the 10.x superstructure.
At the worst, some graphics intensive programs may require updates. Which will 99.9% of the time, be free.
