Yes, not so easy to find in there is it. I guess what is considered "Early" is debatable these days.
That sub-title is misleading, no 2010 / 2011 iMacs are "Core 2 Duo, Core Duo, Core Solo machines"
Maybe they should change it to "Upgradable Macs Apple would rather you forget about now..." 😂

These days the "Early Intel" mark is getting a bit blurry, but I consider it to be anything pre-Haswell (so Ivy Bridge/2012 or older), however others consider it to be:

- Macs that can natively run Snow Leopard
- Pre Core-i Macs
- Everything Haswell and older
- Macs that do not support the latest macOS releases natively (or at all)
