The iMac "Core i3" 3.2 27-Inch Aluminum (Mid-2010) is powered by a dual core 3.2 GHz Intel "Core i3" I3-550 (Clarkdale) processor with a dedicated 256k level 2 cache for each core and a 4 MB shared level 3 cache. In lieu of a system bus, it has a "Direct Media Interface" (DMI) that "connects between the processor and chipset" at 2.5 GT/s.
By default, it is configured with 4 GB of RAM (1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM), a 1 TB (7200 RPM) hard drive, a vertically-mounted slot-loading DVDR DL "SuperDrive", and ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics with 512 MB of dedicated GDDR3 memory.
Introduction Date: July 27, 2010 Discontinued Date: May 3, 2011

Geekbench 2 (32): 5922 Geekbench 2 (64): 6599

Geekbench 3 (64): 2074 Geekbench 3 (64): 4389
Processor Speed: 3.2 GHz Processor Type: Core i3 (I3-550)
Details: This model is powered by a 32 nm, 64-bit Intel Core i3 "Clarkdale" processor with dual cores (two independent processor cores on a single silicon chip). Each core has two threads, for a total of four threads for the system, as well as a dedicated 256k level 2 cache. The processor cores share a 4 MB level 3 cache. It also supports Hyper Threading, but does not support "Turbo Boost" -- which "automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload" (so if an application is only using one of the two cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores).
