At his keynote at this week's Macworld Expo in San Francisco, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the first Macintosh computers based on Intel processors "a little ahead of schedule," and—confounding the ever over-active rumor mill—Intel hasn't just moved inside a laptop, but into Apple's all-in-one iMac as well.

The Intel-based iMacs feature the same screen sizes (17 and 20 inches), form factors, and price points as previous the previous all-in-one flat panel computers, but feature what Apple's calling the Intel Core Duo dual-core processor running at up to 2 GHz, along with a 667 MHz system bus, 512 MB base RAM, a 160 to 250 GB hard disk, an 8x SuperDrive, and PCI Express graphics via an ATI X1600 video controller with 128 MB video memory. As with the most recent iteration of the iMac, the units feature a built-in IR sensor and a remote control, Apple's Front Row media management software, a built-in iSight camera, two FireWire 400 ports, three USB 2.0 powers, integrated Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11g and Bluetooth wireless networking, and built-in stereo speakers. Apple offers two base iMac models priced at $1,299 and $1.699.
