Apple adoptedIntel processors which post-2006 iMacs now run on. BecauseMac OS X was written for PowerPC at the time, Mac OS X ran in an emulation environment called Rosetta. Programs and applications received 'Universal Binary' updates to make them run reliably and use less resources of the Rosetta environment, instead hardware accelerating themselves.
iMac models after 2001 were shipped withmacOS (formerly known as OS X).
The latest macOS version is Big Sur, which is notIntel processor dependent. No PowerPC based computer can run or install it meaning most of the iMac line are not 10.11 compatible.
Some of the newest iMac models don't have CD or disc drives.
On May 2021, 24" iMac withApple M1 will be released.
