Hi everyone, I use my Late 2012 iMac 27” 2.9 i5 mostly for music recording purposes. I’ve found I max it out really quickly due to only 4 threads. While I do the SSD retrofit I want to update the CPU to an i7 (8 threads). I’m actually a little confused on which i7 I should use. Originally the 27” had a i7 3770. However the 21.5” had the 3770s. Which one will work, and which one will operate best for my machine. Thanks!
The 2012 27” system was sold with a 3.4 GHz i7-3770 and the 2012 21.5” system was sold with a 3.1 GHz i7-3770s. Hopefully you can find a new 3.4 GHz i7-3770
