Core 2 Duo iMacs arrive, 24-inch model at high-end
Apple, today, updated the iMac line by replacing the Intel Core Duo processor with the recently released Intel Core 2 Duo, utilizing the chipmaker's new Intel Core Microarchitecture, also used in the Xeon 5100-series (aka "Woodcrest"), used in Apple's recently released Mac Pro line. At the same time, Apple introduced a new, high-end iMac featuring a built-in 24-inch display.
These new iMacs offer a performance increase of up to 50% over the previous iMacs thanks to the improved efficiency of the Intel Core Microarchitecture. The specs are impressive. Though the Xeon used in the Mac Pro is a more powerful processor, there is certain overhead in the Mac Pro's DB-DIMM memory subsystem that have lead some to speculate that a Core 2 Duo-powered machine using DDR2 memory (which is used in the iMac) may outrun a Xeon + FB-DIMM system. Benchmarks should be interesting.
