All iMacs for sale here have Intel i5, not i7. My 2013 macbook Pro has i7. What are the performance differences? why don't these have i7?

In general performance, there is no difference. If you are using photoshop or music software very heavily, then you will notice some time lag during rendering. Most do not notice the difference at all. The i7 usually comes in the 27" iMac and not the one listed here.

Google i7 vs i5 for differences. Mac makes them with I7, Amazon just doesn't carry them

760 is the newer version. I didn't even know you could install graphics cards on iMacs. You might able to on the older mac pros.

I'm about to become a switcher (purchasing a macbook for my wife and an imac for myself) so i don't know first-hand, but as far as i've heard, the bottom line is -as usual- the use you'll have for the laptop: Unless you need heavy graphic capabilities (the GPU and the screensize, both for video editing, 3D gaming, etc), i'd say a macbook, not a macbook pro. You can upgrade RAM and HardDisk and have excellent performance without the macbook pro's high price. Hope this helps :)

That is a mistake in the listing. This computer does not have an Apple processor. It has an AMD C-70 1 GHz dual core processor

Since they have i3, i5, and i7 in their new MacBook Pros, they will more than likely have the i3 or i5 in the Mini. I don't see the price dropping on this model since the prices for their other products have remained the same.I haven't seen the sales numbers on the Mini or Air...I just can't see many of them being sold since the computer market is being changed with the tablet style machines.

I have a 27" late 2012 iMac with i7 and I replaced the 2 original RAM with 4 of these. It works just fine for me. I even checked that it is using aRAM 1600 MHz because someone said that it went down to 1333 MHz, that is not happening for me. I've been very happy with the change and it was simple to do. I must confess that I did not do the research, my son did, but I did install them and it is my computer that has been using them for the past 9 months.

Intel Core i5-3330 Processor.. I don't know why it would show Apple since it clearly isn't an Apple product.

They worked great in my iMac. It's a 5.1 Intel duo core with 1 gig originally.

I do not know the model you indicated, but I have several different models of Intel Core i3 and I have never noticed significant differences in performances. I have only noticed performance differences among i3 processors from different generetions (for example between first and forth generations). Really important (and useful) differences in performance are only detected betwen i3 and i5 or i3 and i7.

It was for sure... Some years ago, but you have to understand that the Intel Core 2 Duo is a bit old for Today standard CPU. And for Graphic Design software, 1GB RAM will be not enough. Photoshop and software alike, commonly require at least 4GB RAM (and more is better) in the machine to run smoothly.I would recommend the newest Mac mini above this old iMac.

Well, the core i3 is much faster in performance. I mainly use my macbook to surf the web, take notes for class, and do some note taking. I also use this macbook to write my books that I plan to publish.

I don't have a iMac. I think that the OS X v 10.5 leopard should be the same software for all macs. I have a Power Mac G4 and I really like the OS X version 10.5. Apple upgraded me to a OS X version 10.6. I do have problems with the 10.6 as I don't have the Intel card, so I bypass that part but like the rest. The instructions say that it's for Power Mac, iMacs, and Power Macs G5. I hope that this answers your question.

Does anyone know whether Macs need to be Intel-processor units for Mac integration? All my Macs are PowerPC generation. Thanks.

It's Intel Core i5-3317U CPU 1.7 GHz. It's really Fast and Sleek compare to MacBook Pro. A lot of complements for this laptop because of luxury black aluminium, thin and light :)

If you haven't discovered yet, you should be looking at the macbooks with a "/b" appended to the model number. These are listed separately at amazon and have the latest software and cpu. An example would be MB061LL/B.

Why do you say that? It is the 13.3 inch Retina Display MacBook Pro. There actually is NO newer version out there than this. Unless you are talking about the upgraded Ram or processor? This is the "Newest" Version of this particular combination of RAM, Processor, and Storage.
