    The $1700 27" iMac looks like an excellent deal. It has the new OS, it is faster, it has a bigger screen, more memory and a dedicated graphics card. Well done I think. #appleimac

    I really want to see how the standard core i5 iMac runs... I am thinking about buying it at best buy through a purchase plan so unfortunately I don't have the option to get it with the core i7 processor since they only carry the stock models. #appleimac

    @jellotime91: If you look at any PC benchmarks for a C2D vs an i5 you should see the same kind of gains. #appleimac

    @UnderLoK: Yeah but because it's not the same OS or hardware it's not really THAT applicable to this. I want to see the specific gain that the $1999 model has over the others and over the previous gen. But thanks anyway :) #appleimac

    @UnderLoK: I know that. I know it's the same processor. And it may very well deliver the same results even! My point is that I want the direct and specific comparison of this iMac, VS that iMac. Specific iMac machines. The current C2D iMac vs i5 iMac, including all of the specific peripherals and performance in graphics, overall computing task speed, gaming speed and graphics fidelity, etc. etc. #appleimac

    Bench marks don't take advantage of Snow Leopard technologies.
    How many times must I point that out. No benchmarking suite can accurately compare Leopard to Snow Leopard, or Snow Leopard to Windows 7 because they don't take advantage of Grand Central Dispatch or Open CL. #appleimac

    I just can't stand the fact that a 4850 is best you can get on a $2000 machine.
    Personally I would like to see Apple put Ati or Nvidia Workstation cards in the top level imacs... or at least make it an option. #appleimac

    I scrolled down to the bottom just to comment on the sauce, but apparently others have already noticed this. I am now typing a somewhat lengthy comment about something already noticed by others and the purpose of this comment is now moot... I wonder why the sriracha sauce is full. I eat that stuff by the spoonful... #appleimac

    @ipodrulz: It really depends on what your doing and if the application was made to take advantage of more than 1, 2, or 4 cores.

    More often than not you will do something which you will see result in 20% utilization across a couple cores. If your encoding or gaming you will notice them really put to use, but in an average office or home you won't notice much of a difference. #appleimac

    This would be cool, if the chart numbers had any meaning whatsoever. For xbench, 400 what? For geek bench 7000 what? Labels make your graph you know. Besides no one buys an Apple for benchmarks, they buy them because they think Apple is cool, heh.
