Heywood--good grief:

"In addition to the two extra cores, which would significantly improve the performance of iMacs for multi-core aware tasks, the systems would also have a faster 1,333MHz system bus and would be significantly less expensive on average than the dual-core mobile processors Apple has used to date."

OK, I doubt they'd pass the savings along to the customer, at least not this early on, but you got me: if this proves to be the case, it certainly makes a compelling case for going for the new machines!
