Apple Computer, maker of the uber-popular iPod music player and iMac computer line, on Wednesday said it has installed Intel’s Core 2 Duo processors in its iMac machines, the Associated Press reports via Yahoo News.
The new Intel Core 2 Duo processor is more powerful than its predecessor, and it was first unveiled by Intel this summer, according to the AP.

Apple on Wednesday also introduced an upgraded version of its consumer desktop iMac that features a 24-inch display, 2.16GHz of processing power and a $1,999 price tag, the AP reports.
Philip Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing with Apple, said in a statement, “Every iMac—from the $999 model up through the dazzling 24-inch widescreen model—now features blazing Core Duo 2 performance,” according to the AP.
Back in January, Apple unveiled its first two computers that used Intel chips—an iMac and a laptop—and in the time since the introduction of those two machines, the Cupertino, Calif.-based firm has made the switch to Intel with all of its computers, the AP reports.
