One of the most important tips that Yuryev shares is that's it's worth it to sacrifice other upgrades to get the maxed-out video card, in this case the Radeon Pro 5700 XT with 16GB of memory, though that said, for video editors all of the cards in the 2020 27' iMac update include hardware encoding and decoding features that aren't in last years model, resulting in faster performance for that specific use-case, especially when it comes to export times.
YouTuber, Max Yuryev, takes a deep dive into one of the configurations of iMacs that starts at $2,299, but with a few upgrades can be turned into a much better machine. But time goes on, and it's finally happened: You can configure a standard mid-2020 27' iMac that's capable of outgunning the iMac and Mac Pro in video editing for less money.
The machine is a flat out beast, both in price and performance. There's always been a certain appeal to the space-gray iMac Pro over your run-of-the-mill iMac, and of course it went beyond the looks.
