I am leaning towards getting an iMac 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. But now I am also considering the Mac Pro 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel. I hope someone can give me some feedback on this decision.
1. Are they more or less the same speed? If I read this thread I found correctly, the iMac i7 is designed to allow the cores to "over-clock" if necessary which is something I don't think the Mac Pro are allowed to do. Has anyone heard anything about this?
2. I know the iMac display is glossy. Is the 27in Apple Cinema Display also glossy or can it be purchased as matte?
3. How would they compare in terms of noise and heat?
4. Which processor is the better overall performer?
5. I know the updated iMac i7 came out mid-year of 2010. When did Mac Pro 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel started being offered?
