Which raises the question: Will the new Intel iMac outperform the Power Mac G5 Dual? ![]() The Core Duo processor offers 2-3x the power of the G5, and it would be unseemly for the new Intel-based Mac mini to outperform the iMac. There was a lot of debate about which model would be the first with Intel inside, and the iMac is a good choice. In January 2006, Apple replaced it with what looks like essentially the same computer from the front, but with an Intel Core Duo CPU instead of a single-core PowerPC G5. Three months earlier, had Apple introduced an updated iMac G5 – slimmer, lighter, a bit faster, with built-in iSight and sporting a remote control. Apple refers to these as iMac (Early 2006), but we also call them iMac Core Duo, the first iMacs based on Intel’s Core Duo processor.
