Macintosh models

List of Apple Macintosh models sorted by processor type:

Naming conventions

Names up to 1997

The designation of the individual models provides information on the installed hardware and the shape of the housing.

Three-digit numbers (e.g. LC 475) refer to a 68k processor , four-digit numbers (e.g. PPC 6100) to a PowerPC processor. The first digit in each case indicates the design:

  • 2, 5: stand for all-in-one devices (with integrated screen)
  • 4: for a flat desktop device with only one expansion slot
  • 6: for a number of different desktop models (mini-tower included) with 1 to 3 expansion slots
  • 7: for different desktop generations with 3 expansion slots
  • 8: for mini towers with 3 expansion slots
  • 9: for big towers with 6 expansion slots.

The second digit allows conclusions to be drawn about the motherboard used and the processor, the third digit indicates any additional hardware that may have been installed.

From the software point of view, the model from System 6.0.4 onwards can be determined from the return value of the function gestaltMachineType, which is also displayed to the user as the " Machine ID " in the System Profiler . The Macintosh 128K and 512K have the type ( English Machine ID ) 1, the Macintosh XL the ID 2, etc. Only with the "New World" Macs from 1997 onwards is the Gestalt ID always 406, although there are other "Old World" - There were models, such as the Power Macintosh G3 desktop models with a Gestalt type 510. Under Mac OS X , the function was adopted in the Carbon framework and supported up to Mac OS X Lion (10.7, 2011). Within the Blue Box , originally a virtualized Mac OS 8 under Rhapsody (from 1997), the “Machine ID” is gestaltMachineTypealways 1206.

Model numbers from 1997

With the introduction of the G3 , Apple introduced the build-to-order option. The customer could put together his own model. The old naming convention was abandoned in favor of model numbers and “model identifiers” .

The model number does not have to be unique, however. For example, model number A1176 represents all Mac mini with an Intel Core processor (the first models after the switch from PowerPC to Intel processors) from 2006 and 2007, sold through 2009.

Likewise, the “Model Identifier” , translated as “Model Identification”, is not unique, but it often describes major differences in the hardware. For example, “Model Identifier” stands Macmini1,1 for models with a Core Solo / Core Duo processor, while it is used for the successor model with a Core 2 Duo processor Macmini2,1.

Another number that can be used to identify the Macintosh model is the “EMC Number” , where EMC stands for Electromagnetic Compatibility and is intended to describe the electromagnetic properties of the device in relation to other electronic devices in its vicinity. For example, all Mac minis with the model number A1176 have the EMC number 2108. For other models, e.g. B. the Power Mac G5 models with model number A1047, the EMC number differs with each series: all Power Mac G5 from 2003 with “Model Identifier” PowerMac7,2 have the EMC number 1969, while those from 2004 with “Model Identifier ” PowerMac7,3 The EMC number 1969C and those from 2005 with the same “ Model Identifier ”have PowerMac7,3 the EMC number 2061.

With various programs, such as the System Profiler or System Information, the “Model Identifier” can be read out in addition to the individual serial number for each individual device , but not the model number or the EMC number. Most Macintosh computers have a sticker in an inconspicuous place on which the model number, the EMC number and usually the individual build-to-order configuration and often the serial number and MAC addresses are printed.

Motorola 68k

The most powerful 68k models of their time, which were mainly used in the professional sector:

Motorola 68000

The 68HC000 (explicitly listed here) is a 68000 with reduced energy consumption.

Motorola 68020

Motorola 68030

Motorola 68040

The 68LC040 (explicitly listed here) is a 68040 with no floating point unit .

PowerPC

PowerPC 600

The PowerPC 600 developed by IBM and Motorola was started in 1992 as part of the Apple-IBM-Motorola alliance (AIM alliance) and was available as the PowerPC 601 from 1993. For personal computers, the processor emerged as a 32-bit single core processor from IBM's POWER series. The further development PowerPC 603 is considered the second generation and is the direct predecessor of the PowerPC G3 750. The variants 604 and 604e were accelerated in the floating point unit and enlarged in the L1 cache , so that the 604 is about one and a half times compared to the 601 with the same clock rate works so fast.

A transparent emulation integrated in Mac OS from version 7.1.2 (not to be confused with Rosetta ) makes m68k - machine code executable on subsequent Mac OS versions. The Classic environment is integrated in Mac OS X up to version 10.4 , so that a large number of applications that were originally written and compiled for the Motorola 68000 can run on all PowerPC-based Macs.

The improved variant 970FX generates less power loss . The first PowerPC dual core processor was introduced with the 970MP .

Intel x86

At WWDC 2005 Steve Jobs announced the move to Intel processors. The first Intel-based Mac computers were already available in January 2006. As with the switch from m68k to PowerPC processors, in the first three Intel versions of Mac OS X ( Tiger 10.4, Leopard 10.5 and Snow Leopard 10.6), the transparent software emulation Rosetta takes care of that written for PowerPC Macs Programs remain executable on Intel Macs.

With the processors of the IA-32 architecture it is possible to run various x86 operating systems natively, provided they support EFI . Apple itself facilitates this option with the Boot Camp program integrated in Mac OS X for the Microsoft Windows operating system , although this does not support EFI itself in some supported versions (Windows XP and 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and 7). In addition, Apple provides suitable drivers for these Windows operating systems, for example for the Apple-specific keyboards and touchpads.
