Me and my friend ordered out 27inch 2.8ghz core i7 imac with 8gb ram ati hd4870 gfx card and 1tb hard disk with apple remote. we ordered it at the exact same time sitting side by side.
He is getting his tomorrow, whereas mine still says november!
and yes, u read it right, i am talking of the core I7 not I5..... CTO....
we ordered it on nov 2nd.
I have also ordered another one on nov 9th, and ofcourse that too says november...
(I do agree with the post above mine, please lets talk only of delivery dates)
It would be good if all of you just posted your order date and shipped date.....and ofcourse the config of the imac u ordered.

That?s maybe the first delivery of an i7 that I've seen (tomorrow) will be interested to hear any reports!
again, I ordered on Nov 1 and still haven't gotten a shipping notice and my date on the store still says November. I ordered the i7 - 4gb (bought another 4gb thru another cheaper service) and a 1tb drive - oh and I ordered the wired extended keyboard. Don't like the small one.

Since you ordered it on my birthday, you should have gotten special treatment.

they've posted some numbers here on AI as well in their new review.... the i7 numbers you reported are significantly higher than the core duo numbers they got for the 27"

Now, we're reading that Win 7 might be the last major Windows upgrade, and that they have learned their lesson. From now on, the thinking goes, they will copy Apple's formula of making smaller upgrades, and more of them. We'll see.
That's definitely the way to go from an engineering perspective, they just have to convince the business people to swallow it. Good luck to them.
In real-life benefits, what does the quad give you that the C2D 3.06 does not?
Ultrafast modern architecture.
Multi-threading for multiple tasks
4 very fast cores for when programs start taking full advantage of grand Central dispatch
Speed should be pretty similar to the quad core Mac Pros and they absolutely demolish the 3.06ghz core 2s.

I just can't imagine how they would charge for it. Apple can get away with charging $129 list for one and $199 list for five, but it's not Apple's main business in the sense of sales and profits, though it gives a nice bump when it first comes out.
According to what MS just did with 7, according to Ballmer saying that it's 'Vista done right", MS shouldn't have charged full price, but rather the same $29 Apple has with 10.6.
But if they did, it would have cost them possibly $7 billion in sales, and $5 billion in profits. Their business model isn't set up for that.
So if they come out with smaller upgrades every 18 months to two years, how will they price it? As it is, we get besieged by PC people who bother us about that two year upgrade cycle, forgetting that MS never intended to go 5 years between OS's.
In addition, Apple just did a major overhaul to the OS. MS clearly needs to do the same, but can they?

I ordered my i7 iMac on Monday (9 Nov), and it shipped this morning. Really happy with how quickly things were dealt with, and can't wait for my order to arrive
The website has changed the availability from "November" to ships in 7 to 10 days for the i5 and i7. The i5 is available for immediate purchase at my local Apple retail store as of today. They tell me that the i7 will not be stocked and must be ordered on line.

Congrats! While checking your benchmarks (thanks for posting them!) I also noticed that someone just uploaded 64-bit benchmark data also: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/183410

Hey Nicroma, when did you order yours?
And do u see any differences in experience due to the i7?
they've posted some numbers here on AI as well in their new review.... the i7 numbers you reported are significantly higher than the core duo numbers they got for the 27"

Of course they are higher.
Of course they are higher.
interesting! Thanks for posting tho it really makes me want my i7 NOW

I ordered mine on Nov 1 - so it appears they're all over the place on shipments but maybe it still has something to do with the configuration.
I ordered the i7 with 4gb ram, 1tb and the odd thing is I went with the wired extended keyboard.
