Apple updates Mac Mini and iMac
I can't find any mention of an option of an Intel i7 processor for the new iMacs on the Apple website.
On the 'What happens in Vegas ...' forum they have been discussing non-linear editing on i7 PCs since the 24th of November. Dell has been selling an i7 computer in some markets. I would have thought that an i7 iMac would have been a good 'middle of the road' computer for video editors who wanted to run FCP. Andrew Gyles |
There won't be any i7 processors in the iMacs until Intel releases the mobile versions of the Core i7. I would absolutely love a quad core iMac though.

I got a 24" iMac with external 23" Cinema display and Matrox MXO last fall. It meets my needs very well for working with DV and HDV footage and seems quite fast to me (sure runs circles around my old dual G5). Seems like a lot of bang for the buck, especially with better pricing now.
Of course this doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement on both performance and price, but I'm happy with the system. |

Carrying on from the last post 3months ago, does anybody have any info on when Apple may be bringing out an iMac with a Core i7 processor?
I'd get one now but have heard great things (on the PC) about Core i7 and much faster render times compared to Core 2 Duo. I'd like to pick up a new iMac around September - hoping they might have Core i7 processor by then. Thanks in advance for info / opinions on this. |
