iMac Retina 5K (2020) reviewedit
The service is available via an APR (Apple Premium Reseller) like Imagine, Unicorn, Maple etc. and the machine can be configured either over the phone or in-store. Graphics are handled by AMD Radeon Pro 5500XT with 8GB of GDDR6 memory and can be had with 16GB too if you opt for the 5700XT GPU. For my amateur level video editing, it had absolutely nothing to worry about but Apple claims it’s 55% faster compared to the Pro Vega series of the earlier generations. In terms of actual performance, whether I played Code of War 2, Mad Max or Asphalt, none of them had an issue with frame dropping or stuttering of any kind.
