Indeed the 2.66 is a core i5 quad core rather than a core 2 dual core
it can also be build with the core i7 as a custom build

Hi Adrian

I believe the 'slower' machine has a quad core processor rather than the dual core on the other one.

Good morning all,

Looking at the latest iMac I notice that the 27-inch: 3.06GHz list price is $2,199 and the 27-inch: 2.66GHz is $2,599 that is an extra $300 for a seemingly slower machine. Have I missed something or is 2.66GHz quicker than 3.06GHz?

Adrian
