Which Intel CPU is used?

[srfval]

Hi all.
I want to know please which is the exact model of the iMAC's Intel CPU.
About the 3.06. Is it the 8400?

I would appreciate if someone could tell me.

Thank you in advance.

It is a custom CPU made especially for Apple by Intel. It is not available commercially AFAIK.

Nope.

Core2Duo E8435

No it isn't. The only "custom" CPU is the one in the Air and that's just a standard CPU on a custom package.

iMacs use standard Intel laptops CPUs. The current 3.06Ghz iMac uses an Intel E8435 CPU (see everymac).

Is this chip good? The last time I knew anything about PCU chips was back in the days of the Pentium when they just went in numerical order! (P1, P2, etc.)

Not true apple does have slightly different chips than what the PC companies get

It's a custom made chip for apple. It's an overclocked penryn, to match the front bus speed of the new Montevina update.
