When Apple announced about the first ever iMac to offer a quad-core processor, the new high-end 27-inch iMacs were the first to use Intel’s Core i5 and Core i7 quad-core processors, but unfortunately they weren’t available during time of the announcement. But finally, the wait was over, and the Core i5 and Core i7 27-inch iMacs have arrived by letting us worth for the waiting.

There consist four standard iMac configurations, three of which have 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo processors and were reviewed recently. The fourth standard configuration was a $1999 model that has the same 27-inch screen, 1TB hard drive, and 4GB of RAM as the $1699 27-inch 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo iMac but features a more powerful ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card with 512MB of GDDR3 memory and Intel’s Core i5 quad-core processor running at 2.66GHz.
