I've been trying to decide between an imac and a mini since the imac annoucnement and someone recently told me that there are different processor series used in imacs vs those in the minis. As he was explaining it, it quickly got over my head but it had something to do with heat consumption I believe.
Anyway, my question is, is it safe to assume that I can't just directly compare the advertised stats of the processors to know which one is faster?
More specifically, will the 2.7 i5 quad core in the new imac be much faster than the 2.6 i7 quad core in the mini?
