![]() I do want to mention that we ran all of our tests with 10 chrome tabs open in the background, which is a good realistic limit to give a bit of extra wiggle room just in case you like to browse the web while doing your work, like I personally do. We’re actually not going to be testing 128GB of RAM because we tested 64gigs and realized that even THAT was overkill for a lot of these tests, so you really only want to get 128gigs if you want to show off to your friends, or maybe if you’re running virtual machines.īefore we begin, here are the specs of our test machine the $2300 2020 5K iMac which we think is a very solid option for a lot of people, as you guys know if you watched our recent review. ![]() ![]() We’re going to be comparing the factory 8GB that comes with the iMac, then 16GB for $70 on Amazon, 32GB for $120, and 64GB for $250. So what we’re going to do in this article is run actual benchmarks and real-world tests like photo editing using Lightroom Classic, video editing using Final Cut Pro X, Gaming performance, Logic Pro X music production and I’ll even discuss programming using xCode. ![]() And 128GB used to cost $1100, and now it’s only $500. For example, 32GB used to be $171, now it’s only $120. The great thing about the new 2020 5K iMac is that we still have a RAM access door for upgrading it ourselves, and RAM is MUCH less expensive than it was last year. This article is going to apply to every medium to higher-end Mac, like the higher-end 13” MacBook Pro which can be configured with up to 32gigs of RAM, the 16” MacBook Pro, the Mac Mini, the 5K iMac and even the Mac Pro. Now that Apple has refreshed their 2020 iMac with absolutely killer specs and features, a lot of you guys are upgrading, so we created a Buyer’s Guide to help you figure out which model and which upgrades you should buy, but one of the biggest dilemmas is how much RAM you should buy.
