Does new iMac use the same RAM?
- Thread starter Cliff59

I think it depends on which one you're looking at. All but the lowest end seem to be using faster memory. The specs are: 2666MHz DDR4 memory
I think the previous was 2400mhz if memory serves me correctly.
Hope this helps.

I have but it only gives the following:
2666MHz DDR4 memory. SO-DIMM
In Apple's installation guide (which doesn't yet include the new iMac) it gives the following additional info for older models:
2666MHz DDR4 memory. SO-DIMM
In Apple's installation guide (which doesn't yet include the new iMac) it gives the following additional info for older models:
- PC4-2400 (19200)
- Unbuffered
- Nonparity
- 260-pin
- 2400MHz DDR4 SDRAM
if you put
2666MHz DDR4 memory. SO-DIMM
in www.macsales.com, or bhphoto.com, amazon.com you will get the correct memory.
Party memory on used in higher end servers

Instead they allow the medium to master them and go on an endless squirrel cage chase from new lens to new paper to new developer to new gadget, never staying with one piece of equipment long enough to learn its full capacities, becoming lost in a maze of technical information that is of little or no use since they don't know what to do with it."

what does it matter if it's compatible with the NEW iMacs or not?
2017 iMac is the last iMac you can upgrade with 3 party ram
from there on out the Ram is soldered to the board you-- you have to order FROM APPLE when you first buy your iMac
you say they old mac installation guides lists all the specs
but new memory specs are unknow?
This is all www.macsales.com lists for specs for memory for 2019 imac
Product Specs:
Parity Memory -for very high end servers
DDR3 or DDR4 SO-DIM contains 260 pin. Like a canon full frame Digital SLR has and EF mount..it just a spec..not like they make they with 240 or 290 pins
- PC4-2400 (19200)
- Unbuffered
- Nonparity
- 260-pin
- 2400MHz DDR4 SDRAM

NO 2017 27 inch and 2019 27 inch use different RAM. its listed on apple site under tech specs
2019 27inch iMac has user up-gradable RAM
so its NOT soldered to the board
THE 21 inch model DOES NOT HAVE user upgradable RAM
(but it has not had a teardown yet so anything is possible)

Here is the link to the Apple Tech Specs for the 2019 27 iMac. Under memory, it clearly states that the memory is user accessible (meaning it has a memory door like the previous 5K 27" iMacs)

I just ordered the newest 2019 , 27 inch iMac with 8 gigs of ram. The apple sales person told me it is user upgradable. I ordered more ram from other world computing.
This is upgrading my 2012 iMac
so If the apple sales rep lied to me I will just return the computer and go from there
