Not yet, still using Intel processors, and I highly doubt the initial cpu's will be priced competitively to a comparable intel or amd, you will probably be getting less performance for more buck just for that fancy apple sticker.

I'm by no means anti-apple I just still can't see how they justify selling an inferior machine for 2,3,4,5 hundred more because it says apple when you can just s easily run a hackintosh on an intel based machine if you really want to run Os-x. That and the amount of college douche-baggery that occurs because one owns a mac is just something that has turned me off of mac's for time to come. Yes I have used them (I work in It), yes I have (tried) to support them on occasion and I'm just never impressed enough to actually want to go spent so much extra for the "prestige".
My current computer which I built for $380 total (some used parts from craigslist
I can document parts and cost if you don't believe me) would trounce that $1,700 imac (

It's not confined in a tiny case, I have room to expand if need be but I digress if you like macs good for you if you like pcs good for you too.
