I wanted to do some research on this processor, do you guys know what is the processor model code for the iMac's processor?

Is it a mobile processor or a desktop processor?

What is the difference between this one and this one?

I presume this is the iMac's processor-

and this one is going for double the price-

Besides the obvious ghz in speed increase, what justifies for a much higher price?
 
The Core i7 860 in the iMac( along with the i5 and C2D) are desktop processors.
