Thoughts? There are already threads on this. We didn't need a new one.
Wait for the benchmarks since no one knows if it's an underclocked desktop version or a mobile version.
If this is true then im glad I got my 2009 model....

This comparison doesn't seem to agree that the older one is better. According to this article, "....the Radeon 5750 clearly outclasses the Radeon 4850 while also needing less power."

It's almost impossible to use outside benchmarks and comparisons for iMacs, as their gpus are usually mobile cards while other benchmarks are usually desktop.
The 5750 in the new iMac looks to be a desktop card, which would hint at it outperforming the mobility 4850 in last gen iMac, but nobody knows its current clock rate.
