Woops. It looks like Apple might have made those new iMacs a little too fast!
According to Macworld's tests, the Core i7 iMac beat the Octo-core Mac Pro 2.2GHz in a number of Speedmark 6 tests and overall it was 1.5% faster than the fastest base model computer Apple sells. Sure, you can update that Mac Pro Beast to 2.93GHz Octo, but that is $2600 more, $500 more than the entire Core i7 iMac! Even the Core i5 iMac did pretty well. Oh, and that iMac has the best display Apple has ever produced.
