Whats faster my friends...

The 27" iMac has a 2.8GHZ quad-core i5

or you can get the cheaper 3.2GHZ i3 but its not a quad core.

Which one is faster? The lower 2.8 even though it has quad core or the 3.2 but its not quad core?

Maybe you can muli-task better with quad?

Thanks my friends.

The i5 is faster.

Multi tasking performance depends more on RAM but yes, a more capable processor with more cores would improve multi-tasking performance.

What would you be using it for?
