All-in-One Retina 5K desktop

The iMac MF886LL/A is a 27-inch all-in-one desktop with a 5120 x 2880 Retina 5K display, a 3.5 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, and 32 GB of DDR3 memory. It ships with macOS 10.12 Sierra and includes a USB keyboard and optical mouse. The integrated AMD Radeon R9 M290X graphics processor provides 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory.

Single-unit design with standard connectivity

This all-in-one form factor combines the display, compute, and storage into one silver aluminium enclosure, removing the need for a separate tower and monitor cable. Four USB 3 ports, two Thunderbolt ports, a Mini DisplayPort output, an SDXC card slot, and Gigabit Ethernet handle peripherals and wired networking. 802.11n Wi-Fi covers wireless connectivity, while the 1 TB hard drive stores the operating system and user data.

Sustained workloads on Haswell architecture

The 22 nm Haswell Core i5 4690 maintains its 3.5 GHz clock across four cores during extended rendering or compile tasks, with the R9 M290X driving the 5K panel without a separate GPU enclosure. The 32 GB DDR3 ceiling is fixed at the factory maximum, so memory-intensive sessions cannot expand beyond this limit. The mechanical hard drive governs sustained read and write speeds for large project files.

Questions about this item

How much memory can the 3.5 GHz i5 handle before the 32 GB DDR3 limit is reached?

The system already ships with the maximum supported 32 GB DDR3, so no further memory can be added.

How loud does the AMD Radeon R9 M290X get when the 27 inch Retina 5K panel is driven at 5120 x 2880 all day?

The R9 M290X with 2 GB GDDR5 stays within its thermal envelope; fan noise rises only under sustained 3D load, not during typical desktop use.

Which Thunderbolt generation do I need on my existing peripherals to use the two ports on this iMac?

The ports are Thunderbolt 2, so any Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt 1 device will work with the appropriate cable.
