SMBios 19.x - iMacs 2019

[telepati]

I am asking to Apple right now. I will edit the post after getting the answer. But keep in mind Clover Configurator data is correct. Here is one example;

I get this serial from 19,1 SMBIOS in Clover Configurator

Note: But everymac also removed those two iMac model from Macs By Identifier section: Probably they not sure which one is correct.

Mac Specs By Machine Model/Model ID - Macs By Identifier: EveryMac.com

The Machine Model or Model Identifier for each Apple Mac with complete specs a click away. Includes production dates, processor type, memory info, hard drive details, estimated retail prices, and more.

everymac.com

BTW I asked to Apple Support and they don't know either; Apple support give this answer;

"Hello, we appreciate you reporting this information to us. We've passed this along to the appropriate team to review."

Confirmed, the SMBios for our hacks is 19.1 (I have a dump of a real iMac, thanks and credits to Kevincav

(Real iMac info)

To show our CPU we must add CPU-Type 0x1009 in clover.

Thank you for this. Can you please post the iMac 19.1 dump?
So for my i5 8400 is 0608, very interesting.

It worked for me. Thank you.

Yes, because of Vega.

I'm working on a Z390 Designaire with 9900k and RX580. Struggling whether I should remain on 18,3 or go with 19,1. How much of a factor is the GPU?

19,1 is a better match for you with i9 and 580.

No chance of a CPU match for 9th gen i7 processors? None of the systems have i7's, which is unfortunate. Should have bought an i9.

As scottkendall stated, iMac19,1 is a good choice for you.

Try to use 0x0709, its for i7 9th gen.

I would say you would want to use 19,1 still. since a I7 is basically a non hyper threaded I9
