Not me. Stock i7, Nov 1 order, US Edu store, W655. Not yet shipped. I'm not sweating this yet, as there are plenty of October orders that haven't shipped either.
My Core I7 is on the truck and "Out for delivery". 1 day ahead of schedule.
Me too. Holy crap FedEx was fast!
OK here we go. The Specs sticker wasn't on top like usual, it was on the bottom corner.
These are the updates suggested out of the box.
I just downloaded geekbench. I'll run it and post the results soon.

Nicroma, our's must've been on the same plane! Your airplane tracking was spot on! Good job, enjoy you're new baby!!
Here are the 32-bit Geekbench results, I don't have a serial for the 64-bit version.

Thanks a lot mate !! Looks great but your box did get bashed a bit.
That shipping exception (missing pickup I imagine) caused an entire days delay. Blast!
At least it is finally on its way to Alaska. There will be plenty of pics once it comes.
Yeah, mine is showing the exact same thing. So the shipment goes to Alaska? I hope mine can skip Memphis and just go straight to Atlanta but I imagine there will be at least one other leg in between.
Oh well. No iMac on my birthday, but it will be a nice post-birthday gift for next week.

Over 8000 points in da geeky bench !
That seems like a very nice score... what do the experts think?

That's impressing the i5 scored a mere 6496 and the c2d 3.06 (if I'm not wrong) scores around 4900-ish. The i7 seems to be alot faster than those two models.
That really convinces me to go for the i7.
BTW congrats on your new toy
I was told by the IPD department (bulk people) that if it clears customs in Alaska by 2pm - we 'could' get it tomorrow.
Nicorma - Can you help a girl out?
How can I set up that flight tracker of yours to track our 255 piece container?
The flight left Korea at 9:01pm to Alaska (11/12) their time. I want to see if and when it arrived in AK.
I talked to the special department that handles these international bulk shipments. I also talked to International shipping department. Both departments told me the exact same information about our container (255 iMacs). We MIGHT get them tomorrow if the workers hustle in Alaska to break down the container and it clears customs by 2pm AK time.

Seems it has about the same performance as a mac pro 1 proc 2.66ghz quad:

LoCarbHotRod,
Congrats mate!!
Go make yourself a new thread as the first person on planet earth (MacRumors) to receive his i7. There was a new i5 thread, you deserve one for the first i7 too!!
Enjoy, please do tell us your first hand experience with the i7 apart from the benchies!
