New Core i7-based iMacs benchmarked and seen to be better than counterparts, surprises no one

Apple recently unveiled new models of the iMac which use Intel's Core i7 and Core i5 processors. I don't know why anyone would need benchmarks and "hard data" to know that these are quite a bit faster than the other available iMac models using Core 2 Duo processors, but in case you do, here's a shot of tabulated Geekbench scores showing exactly what anyone with half a brain would already expect: the i5 and i7-based iMacs are a lot faster! I'd like to get upset about people who look at these scores and think, "Wow, the iMac is really the best computer out there right now," but that would be childish. So, I'll just leave the fanboys swimming in their own drool looking at this so they can enjoy Apple's "new" innovation.
