Macbook Pro i7=iMac i7?

The iMac i7 is listed as a quad-core. The MacbookPro i7 is not. Are they the same processors?

Nope

It.. err.. somewhere between a 3.06ghz c2d imac, and an i5 imac. The i7 quads are roughly on par with i5s (albeit still a little slower, I believe).

Here are some benchmarks. You'll notice the iMac i7 destroys the MBP i7. No contest.
