5 Things to Know About the 2020 27-Inch iMac’s Soldered CPU and GPU

The Intel Core processor is soldered to the logic board. You cannot upgrade it after purchase, so choose carefully at order time.

The Radeon Pro graphics are also soldered. No swapping or upgrading the GPU later.

Your CPU and GPU choices are permanent. Whatever you pick at checkout is what you will have for the life of the machine.

This applies to all configurations of the 2020 27-inch iMac. There is no model with socketed or replaceable components.

Buy the best processor and graphics you can afford upfront. You cannot add more performance later, so over-spec if your budget allows.
