New iMac breaks the 3GHz barrier

April 28, 2008

While there may have been no major changes to the iMac, there has been an added speed bonus to all models, and the prices remain the same. The most notable is the high-end version of the 24-inch, which now has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor of 3.06GHz (the first consumer-level Mac that breaks the 3GHz barrier), and a 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS video chip — all for $2199.

The new iMacs are now available in the online Apple Store, and if they’re not already in the retail stores, they’ll be soon.
