Internally, the iMac Intel 20" EMC 2133 and 2210 were nearly identical to the late 2006 plastic intel iMacs. 2.0, 2.4, and 2.66 GHz Core 2 duo processors and an external graphics card set the performance of EMC 2133 and 2210 iMacs apart from previous generations.
The style of the new aluminum iMacs are a dramatic departure from the white plastic encased iMacs of the past. The aluminum iMacs were to match the design of the original iPhone, both released at nearly the same time. The glass front panel allows for a richer viewing experience, and even with aluminum and glass accents the 20" aluminum iMac is still lighter than all previous 20" iMac generations.
