Core i5 / ATI HD 4670 in new iMac refresh

This looks like good news for Core i5/i7 and HD 4670 owners since Apple added these hardware in their new Imacs! The 4670 is a pretty awesome low powered card. Let's just wait for osx86 support.

I think it will, but probably not out of the box. There is also a big possibility that 4650 will be fully supported as well since they use the same chipset architecture. I desperately need a low profile card (decent).

Only time will tell. I think it's soon
