You may need to wait a bit for the last 2 links to update with the newly-released Macs.

Clearly I must be missing something --- I have a dual core 2.7 i7 ... Is that FASTER than the newer 13" iMac?!

It depends on the configuration you choose. From Apple's MBP specs:

2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz) with 3MB shared L3 cache

Configurable to 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 4MB shared L3 cache.

One is slower, the other, faster.
